🌿 Big Tech vs Bitcoin Mining: Environmental Impact Comparison 🚨

Let’s talk about reports on Bitcoin mining’s carbon emissions. 🌍When discussing the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, many people point out that it consumes a lot of electricity and produces a lot of carbon dioxide. However, the latest reports show that the world’s largest technology companies, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple, actually have a combined carbon emission that far exceeds Bitcoin mining’s carbon emissions.

Take Amazon, for example. The company has already produced 71.54 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2021 alone, while Bitcoin mining has produced 65.4 million tons of carbon emissions in the same period. This means that Amazon alone has produced more carbon emissions than the total carbon emissions of Bitcoin miners worldwide.

The article also states that if Google (which claims to have 14.3 million tons of carbon emissions in 2023) and Microsoft (15.3 million tons of carbon emissions in 2023) are added together, the total will exceed 100 million tons per year. This calculation does not include Amazon's growth from 2021 to 2024, nor Apple's 15.6 million tons.

So, when those big technology companies, investment banks and bankers talk about the impact of Bitcoin mining on the environment, do you feel a sense of irony?
