  Much debate nowadays is devoted to the impacts of modern information and
communication technology on global carbon emissions. Green information and
communication technology is a paradigm creating a sustainable and
environmentally friendly computing field that tries to minimize the adverse
effects on the environment. Green information and communication technology are
under constant development nowadays. Thus, in this paper, we undertake the
problem of performance bugs that, until recently, have never been studied so
profoundly. We assume that inappropriate software implementations can have a
crucial influence on global carbon emissions. Here, we classify those
performance bugs and develop inappropriate implementations of four programs
written in C++. To mitigate these simulated performance bugs, measuring
software and hardware methods that can estimate the increased carbon footprint
properly were proposed.
