"Don't Look Up" on Netflix is the story of Astronomers discovering that a comet is going to hit the earth. The politicians drag their feet (right wing Trump types). A rich technology guy wants to break the comet up and mine the comet. Nobody listens to the science guys, nobody wants a peer review.

This is a metaphor for climate change. We see the climate change happening but nothing is being done. This is my opinion, but I believe the comet represents "Proof Of Work" crypto coins. The technology guy (CEO of Bash phones) is a cross between Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, pushing proof of work crypto to destroy the planet.

Yes, Hydro and renewable energy is being used for a portion of mining. But this does not account for the massive amount of graphics cards being sold on the retail market.

Great movie. Don't use Proof Of Work Crypto.
