I am a strong believer in climate change, but I feel many are pulling the "causes climate change" card in their arguments like "think of the children!"—a subtly dishonest way to trap their interlocutor because no one sane would want harm to come to the children, or to climate.

I am also a strong knower in climate change. The evidence is irrefutable. But it is strange to me that the one real threat against the banking and financial industries, the one real opponent to a stranglehold on money, somehow coincidently has been associated with the literal destruction of this planet via climate change. And people are really buying it!

Crypto has a lot of flaws but climate change is not one of them. I guess I need to just deal with these lemmings parroting whatever the authorities have on the agenda to psychologically take out opponents, but never thought I would see them successfully wage war on mathematics like this.
