Anti Bitcoin propaganda looks to me very similar with health and brainwashing propaganda we are experiencing in last few years, so people are not really reading anything or looking at data, but they ''trust'' the news.

Check this out, just to put things into perspective, Bitcoin mining consumes only 0.1% of all world energy production, and bunch of that energy is wasted anyway even without Bitcoin.
65% of all energy that is produced is lost or wasted, and some people are (fake) concerned about Bitcoin and melting ice... Let's think with our head people please.

I would suggest everyone to read few pages of this Global Bitcoin Mining Data Review for Q2 2021 by Bitcoin Mining Council:
