I think Bitcoiner's tend to favour arguments against the mainstream. Whether these arguments are about financial stuff or climate doesn't really matter. We like "being smarter than the rest". I gotta admit, I 'm no different š
When it comes to climate and if the weather is changing because of men made climate change my take is:
I don't know for sure, I can see valid arguments on both sides.
But IMO every single step towards more decentralisation in energy grids is good. So build as much renewables in your neighborhood as you can.
This will most likely help to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, which were one the greatest drivers of several wars in the last centuries.
It's simple, isn't it?
I think that's a good answer! Bitcoin itself can make a very valuable contribution to environmental protection - we both know how.
Regarding the climate: Of course one could doubt it, but there is greater than 99% consensus on human-caused climate change in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. => https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966/pdf
The scientific data is very clear and many factors have been taken into account (precession of the earth, position of the earth in relation to the sun, solar winds, etc.), but the greenhouse effect from man-made CO2 is the largest factor in global warming in the short term (see graph and following article: https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-why-climate-change-is-real/a-62482188 )
