Warming of the climate system is now unequivocal. It is now clear that global warming is mostly due to man-made emissions of greenhouse gases (mostly CO 2). Over the last century, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide increased from a pre-industrial value of 278 parts per million to 379 parts per million in 2005, and the average global

Jan 24, 2021Although these plants may be believed to provide electricity at a low cost, they have many environmental impacts. They produce many harmful and toxic gases that pollute the environment. Hence, environmental experts claim that Bitcoin mining is a primary cause of the greenhouse effect and climate change.

Making matters worse, coal mining produces methane, a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 25 times greater than that of CO 2 on a 100-year timeline. Emissions from coal-fired power plants represent one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases (sharing the top spot with vehicle emissions).

Tomorrow, the effects of global warming could escalate further, leading to ever more drastic regulation, carbon taxation, changes in demand for mined commodities, and divestment pressures. These threats call into question mining companies' ability to continue operating successfully with their traditional business models and asset bases.

Climate warming is caused by excess greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide which are heat trapping gasses. Human use of fossil fuels is a significant source of these gasses. When we drive our cars, heat our homes with oil or natural gas, or use electricity from coal fired power plants, we contribute to global warming. Including any loss of ...

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) was developed to allow comparisons of the global warming impacts of different gases. Specifically, it is a measure of how much energy the emissions of 1 ton of a gas will absorb over a given period of time, relative to the emissions of 1 ton of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The larger the GWP, the more that a given ...
