Does Bitcoin have the potential to impact climate change?
There are many things that currently affects and can affects the climate causing unusual changes and Bitcoin mining is not the major concern. If A brief research is conducted, there are many other major causes like industrial activities, manufacturing activities, the activities of oil and gas companies, urbanization, gasses from fuel and diesel engines etc. All these other factors have not yet been addressed completely, so blaming that climate change is majorly a cause of Bitcoin mining and its activities is just an excuse to criticize and speak bad of bitcoins.
It is not a major concern, but it is a concern. Bitcoin mining has impacted climate change in the environment, and we cannot disprove that fact. Let us put it into consideration, because whenever the government is ready to act because of that, they will take things into action. It is good that the OP brings up the topic as a reminder. Although it has been discussed in this forum before, it is good that we are aware and make good use of the best mining tools that have a limit on causing harm to the climate.
