I believe there will always be grifters taking advantage of an actual humanitarian problem (as they always do) to try and further entrench their own positions of power and wealth.

But if you combine intelligence with a reasonable amount understanding of the scientific method, it’s pretty clear the global climate is changing as a result of human activity, and that there will likely be negative ramifications.

It’s also an incredibly nuanced issue. We NEED to use more energy, because that is how humans thrive.

Solar/wind have significant hurdles. Nuclear is often-maligned but would make a huge impact.

Bitcoin mining can help significantly with all of these issues (and more), which is one reason I’m optimistic for the world that my grandchildren will live in.
