A very interesting article about crypto miners and crypto companies carbon emissions: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2021/11/02/carbon-offsets-are-a-distraction-for-crypto/ I totally agree with the Author about carbon credits: it's a good way to buy carbon credits by specialized and good companies like Nori carbon removal https://nori.com/, but is far better to build renewable energy plants which will feed (directly or undirectly) mining farms and other data centers. That's why: - the better to way for a good accounting of carbon emissions is to join pros and cons in the same balance, so if a company has energy consuption on one side and renewable energy production on the other side there's only one subject to check - in this way users and stakeholders can check far better, also because wonderful projects like crypto Energy Web are building a blockchain traceable system to measure directly all these input and outputs, having an easy and transparent accounting - the assumption of responsibility is more effective than sharing in carbon emissions reduction: do it by yorself.
