The article is from 2019, so its claims about Ethereum are outdated. But even so:

> We start by collecting data on emission rates… for four pollutants commonly created by burning fossil fuels to produce energy

Wait, why focus on fossil fuels alone?

And why focus on cryptocurrency specifically? Did they produce a similar study for e.g. entertainment?

Also, did I miss the part where the impact of traditional mining is estimated and compared? I can’t find anything about the headline’s claim in the body of the article.
