> It's not even 1% of global energy consumption.
For now. As its usage goes up, its energy consumption will go up, <<by design>>. It's crazy that we're even talking about a <<currency>> (!!!) using this much power.
> It's the oil companies who are boiling the world but nobody dares to touch them.
We are working on all of that, I guess you haven't been following the news. It's not easy, but we are.
> The cars, the factories, the developed nations and their comfortable lifestyles supported by such a highly polluting economy.
Same. Electric cars, environmental regulations for factories, increased energy efficiency for houses, etc.
> China is the most polluting country in the world, but will the US, Europe stop trading with it? No.
China's working on it and the US and EU are actually kind of gearing up towards a trade reduction.
> No. How will the west survive without its cheap consumer products? The very computers we're posting this on?
These computers are also used for work, hobbies, making people's lives better.
> No, I refuse to care. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the real problems that no government will lift a finger to solve.
It's not a drop. It's something we created about a decade ago and it uses up a 100th of the energy the entire world is using. That's crazy. And those real problems are being tackled, you just don't know it or refuse to see or think it's simple and easy to solve.
