I reread op topic three times and didn't understand exactly what he was trying to say. Does he mean that climate change in the form of natural disasters can affect everything, including Bitcoin? Sorry if my answer may be off-topic, but I'll try to answer based on what I understand.

In simple terms, yes, natural disasters have a direct impact on everything, and Bitcoin is not immune to external influences. However, Bitcoin is better able to withstand these influences than other products, especially when it comes to investment products. Unlike other products, Bitcoin can be positively impacted during natural disasters after people lose confidence in traditional investments, and Bitcoin becomes a profitable investment opportunity as well as a safe store of value.

Yeah I think that is what OP meant. If climate change increases all the world's temperature averages, then it will be rougher to keep the machines cold. Plus you have to factor in the increased environmental phenomena related to higher temperatures, such as hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes and so on. But these things will impact all industries, so it's not different. You will have to adapt. And Bitcoin is a global permissionless network, so you can plug in and out machines as needed without any meetings with the CEO. Each miner operation will come up with their own plan. This means BTC is very efficient compared to other industries. AI datacenters will have to adapt and plan with clients, with BTC there is no clients, you just plug the machines and go.
