Carbon emissions are calculated to lead to one premature death for every 300 to 3,000 tonnes of CO2 emitted [], and are projected to make an area containing 3 billion people uninhabitable [].

Bitcoin is currently estimated to be responsible for 65.4 megatonnes of CO2 every year [] with some estimates as high as 114 megatonnes [].

So, just doing the math here, Bitcoin is adding between 21,800 and 380,000 premature deaths annually, and contributing significantly to climate change that will displace billions.

We can stop this! But to do so you need to explicitly sell Bitcoin.
