The data shows just how overblown the MSM hysteria over Bitcoin mining really is too:

TL;DR: Even if you assume the absolute worst case scenario where all Bitcoin mining was powered by the most polluting sources of electricity from power stations that have been decommissioned, mining Bitcoin would still contribute a mere 0.35% of global pollution.
And this is without taking into account how much the fiat banking system uses in comparison, or the fact that the value of the USD relies heavily on it remaining the global reserve currency, which in turn relies on US foreign policy, and the US military industrial complex is the most polluting industry on the planet.
