And, so what?

Is everyone going to stop like how "gas" is under scrutiny? No.

Replace with coal, or any other commodity. Copper, Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc.

"the annual carbon emissions from the electricity required to mine Bitcoin and process its transactions are equal to the amount emitted by all of New Zealand. Or Argentina."

So? When did comparing to a country become a metric of success or for cause of concern? We can say the same/use the same metric for Gold, Silver. In general an economic indicator of prosperity is energy usage.

If anything this sounds like a marketing piece for the companies cited in the article vs a rag on bitcoin itself.
