If most of the media is controlled by 5 or 6 world corporations, then the truth is what they present to the public, not what should be supported by facts and research.

I think we have already started to move away from the agenda that mining and BTC transactions cause environmental destruction, but we are slowly moving in the direction of convincing people that BTC should be stopped because it will consume so much energy that half the world will remain in the dark.
If you follow the news that covers this topic, then you must have noticed that they very skillfully manipulate one thing - and that is that they often change the country they compare to the total energy consumption used by BTC - one day it is Argentina, the second day Ireland and the third day they combine several countries such as New Zealand and Belgium. The goal, of course, is to try to create a bad image in as many countries as possible, because everyone's mouths are full of environmental protection and no one wants to give up the modern way of life - and they want to portray Bitcoin as something that affects these things.
