>Air pollution accounts for 1 in 8 deaths worldwide - approximately 7 million deaths in 2012, according to new data from the World Health Organization (WHO). The findings, released in late March, doubled previous estimates from just a few years ago in 2008. WHO now characterizes air pollution as “the world’s largest single environmental health risk.”

This is beyond a stretch. Fascinating that this is how people are rationalizing being dismissive of cryptos.

It's actually worse, climate change is going to kill all of us, medicine unavailability will only kill some of us.

I'm comparing taking a useful resource and deliberately destroying it in order to "prove work".

It's a very accurate comparison.
