As I posted earlier this week:

Each bitcoin mined in the US directly results in more than 264 metric tonnes of CO2. This is based on the following rough calculation:

    1.65 billion metric tonnes * 2% / (900 bitcoins per day * 38% * 365 days)
Based on 2022 CO2 emissions from https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11 .
