Since you're probably partly referring to my post,

No, I was strictly referring to the comparison with other things that do the same stuff, you can't go out and say well bitcoin does 0.00..1%, and agriculture burns one hundred times more, let's see long people last without bitcoin and how much without refrigerators! Bitcoin it's an economic environment of its own if it generates activity it will come with everything others have good and bad, you have to defend it but also keep being rational.

I certainly don't want anyone to push us into the category of those who contribute to global warming and all that comes with it.

Like it or not we are contributing to it, you're contributing to global warming with every action, bitcoin consumes energy, cars consume energy, heating your house does so and so is every single human activity on this planet. Bitcoin has a part of it and others have more, but you can't say that it's something eco-friendly either.
as there is no such action, even planting a tree isn't if you're burning more gas to get them there and plant them than all the carbon they will grab from the atmosphere during their lifetime.

It is what it is and let's deal with it, this ain't a religion, this is economy.
Going to extremes will not help our cause either as people will just see us as a bunch of cultists.
