Looking at the data, we can see that Bitcoin accounts for only the smallest share of carbon footprint/environmental pollution and global warming.
All the reasons they gave were to hide their fears, fear of dominance, out of control ... Fear of Bitcoin.
But are electric cars really friendly to the environment? Because, they still have built in batteries on them right? And then once it runs out, they will still be needing an electricity to charge it. Now that is not far from mining btc's as it also uses electricity. There are some model of those cars which has a solar panel to charge but I think its power is too low and what if there is no sunlight? About the esports and its effect to the young generations, I think that was a different matter anymore.
Better if you can create a separate thread for it as that will be an interesting topic but not all times there are tournaments but all the times there are factories which released hazards that are harmful to the environment. They shouldn't put all the blame to btc mining.
