Their calculator seems to not be working atm ( hug of death), and maybe it's described there, but anyways:
How do they measure this? Do they have the electricity consumption and supply of each datacenter around the globe? Two DCz in Poland, one using coal energy, or another one using only renewable energies; the first one has latest gen servers and networking equipment; the second one 15 year old stuff. Which one uses less CO2?
There can be lots of differences depending on location and specificities.
