They are social registers created out of thin air. I get the urge. I get that something of value exists in manufactured exclusivity. I do not get how so many young people can justify participating in a scheme that is actively awful for climate change.

The crypto-concern is one of the more meaningless pieces of bs in climate conversations. It’s nowhere near a top lever on decarbonization, already trending down or negative carbon (for eg due to replacing gas flaring) and is an issue *purely* because it targets “right” villains

The biggest levers are unfortunately either the least sexy (eg: home heating/cooling improvements through insulation), most difficult (densification) or simply require years of tedious engineering work building up a stack (transport reform from EVs to renewable sources).

I’ve pretty much written off climate activists as really bad faith. Their revealed preferences for issues to push on a priority basis show little to no concern for/engagement with climate per se, and unacknowledged primary focus on social justice causes.

It’s actually a disservice to both causes to pretend to care about climate as a vehicle for pursuing aims in social justice. The real problem with crypto is not climate but that it’s a non-inclusive, inequality-exacerbating new engine of wealth (very real, despite being digital)
