pollution narrative is easily debunked as in the energy is already being generated so it will be used elsewhere and also cleaner energy alternatives can be used.
The more energy we use the better for the civilization. We're not even a type 1 yet.

Seems like it is not that easy to debunk the energy narrative, after all, as you have not convinced me here, at least not with your second argument, even though I am a Bitcoiner.
I am of the conviction that, even though global warming is a real threat, Bitcoin warrants using the available energy as much as any other technology, if not more. And Bitcoin provides the means to stabilize the grid, incentivize the development of "cleaner" energy sources, etc. But by no means do I believe we should blindly burn fossils and ignore the current impact humanity has on the climate.
Not trying to convince you of my beliefs. They are beliefs as much as yours.
Just trying to illustrate that reconciling PoW with the belief in global warming requires some advanced understanding of Bitcoin. That is not something easy to achieve as it requires a much less aggressive approach than what the likes of Ammous Saifedean utilize in public fora.
