Backlash spotlights newspaper’s ecological hypocrisy .
What happens when America’s purported “paper of record” promulgates an unabashedly biased hit piece against Bitcoin’s so-called “climate impact”, replete with shoddy reporting, wrong data, logical fallacies and even doctored photographs?
The public, fed up with being spoon-fed increasingly nonsensical propaganda under the guise of “news” turns the spotlight back on the outlet, highlighting the New York Times very real destruction of habitats, ecosystems and life giving, carbon reducing trees.
Via a piece on TheBtcTimes website, and through the @NYTimesUP twitter account, the #StopThePresses movement erupted over the weekend, drawing attention to several inconvenient truths about how the New York Times print edition gets made:
This is a paper mill.
But it’s more accurately described as a TREE SLAUGHTERHOUSE. @nytimes profits from the murder of trees, choosing to print a daily newspaper packed full of corporate advertisements and propaganda.

27 tree slaughterhouses grind, pulp and purée approximately, 60 million trees each year. Trees absorb C02, so that’s 60 million less all natural carbon capturing beings, butchered annually, just to be defiled with agitprop; read once, and then unceremoniously disposed after.
The public has had enough. Left unchecked, America’s newspaper industry could consume every tree on the planet by the year 2040.
Make your voice heard and tell your congressman that something needs to be done about this unrepentant, climate killing juggernaut.

I'm certainly not a NYT advocate, but using "carbon capture" as a point of criticality inadvertently supports the fake climate crisis pushed by that rag. Trees do capture CO2 but they release O2. The whole concept of limiting carbon dioxide because of climate change is paradoxical at least, since we breathe oxygen but even more dangerously it's suicidal.
Paper mill close to where I live here in Arkansas. It would hurt the local economy if it were to close, but damn, I hate seeing those logging trucks go by on the road loaded with trees.
Keep up the good work.

Excellent article!!!

Hey, when is anybody ever going to say that Emperor Bitcoin is stark naked?
I mean, I'm not saying that there aren't good reasons for decentralized digital currencies. I don't find them useful in my personal life, but I don't doubt that other people find them useful. That isn't the point.
The point is, when your pet digital project needs new electrical power plants to function, maybe it's time to think that your pet digital project is in desperate need of some re-vamping, so that it isn't so damned wasteful. It isn't even a matter of the climate impact of the electrical power plants, or that there may not be so much energy sloshing around to use it up on pet digital projects. It's just a matter of basic common sense: when anything seems to be using up vast amounts of a useful resource, isn't it time to think whether there aren't better ways of doing whatever you are doing, or even, whether whatever you are doing needs to be done as much as you think?
I get it, people are making money thanks to bitcoin. But are you even sure that the money you are making is going to be available to you when you need it? I mean, what use is some sort of digital money if there are power cuts and you can't access it? What use is digital money if climate change is reducing crop yields and people are going hungry?
Or is bitcoin the digital equivalent of Easter Island statues?
Wow, nobody has ever raised these issues before.
Parody is the new pitchfork
Nice work!
Nonsense from both sides. Logging in North America is reharvesting of quick-growing Pine which land is re-seeded and harvested. on a cyclical basis.

Most people know that, just like most people know that Bitcoin mining uses mostly stranded or clean energy (the public ones especially, knowing that there’s a ESG hysteria and they can’t get away with doing anything but).
It’s possible you’re missing the point of the parody – where the same bombastic unhinged tone of the NYT was reflected back on them.
One side is aware of the hypocrisy. It's a proportional counter-attack against the fools behind the NYT.
