WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As ethereum, the world's second largest cryptocurrency, dramatically cuts its climate pollution, environmental groups have intensified pressure on bitcoin to meet or beat ethereum's environmental performance. Ethereum's long-awaited "merge" to a proof of stake consensus mechanism uses 99.95 percent less energy, leaving bitcoin as the largest cryptocurrency using the outmoded high-energy proof of work consensus mechanism.

  • Bitcoin has become the outlier, defiantly refusing to accept its climate responsibility," said Michael Brune, director of the "Change the Code, Not the Climate" campaign.
  • President Biden signed an executive order in March that highlighted the connection between cryptocurrency mining and the climate crisis.
  • "If ethereum can change its code to cut air pollution and climate disruption, why can't bitcoin?
