Well they didn't ruin a batch of cement at a cement plant did they? They ruined a datacenter construction project, specifically.

Did the Data Center get canceled? If not, then no it is not ruined and instead what's going to happen? Is someone's going to scrape up a whole bunch of that concrete releasing a whole bunch of carbon dioxide and then someone's going to pour down some more concrete which will increase the CO2 in the atmosphere.

This would still pollute less than the usage of the center. You're underestimating how much energy they use once active.

So basically you think burning down an oil company HQ increases climate change?

		That sounds likely to be true. They'll move operations to a temporary building while they build a new one. To some extent their ability to make plans will be disrupted, but the effect those plans would have had on the climate is unknown: the result is just that the oil company behaves in a more stupid and poorly-planned way, while doing some extra construction.
