According to digital investing firm CoinShares, BTC miners contribute to 0.08% of the world’s Total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Although 0.08% might seems small, we are talking about the Total CO2 emmisions worldwide… this is not little at all. Especially not now we are dealing with a harsh winter where some countries have to shut down the mining industry to save some energy for its people.
Of course, there are other industries that contribute a lot as well, but since we are in this subreddit, let’s leave the whataboutism aside please.
Do you guys think mining btc is worth its CO2 contribution?
