You are jumping between claims. As you've acknowledged Ethereum will switch to PoS where your climate change claims are incorrect (as they already are when talking about crypto as a whole).

Your seperate PoS concerns of centralization (whether valid or not) at most make it as 'evil' as any other centralized service.

I don't think you should give them too much credit for a switch to PoS that hasn't actually happened yet. There's no intermediate benefit of "planning to switch."

I gather you never run a blue-green migration before?

The switch has already started. The PoS validators are already running. The time it is taking is just to make sure that the transition occurs safely and that there are enough diversity of clients and stakers in the network.

1. I'm not acknowledging anything. I think the switch happening is very up in the air, and the switch happening without irreparably destroying the community is also very up in the air. I think ETH devs agree, which is why it's been postponed so much.

2. If it's just as bad as what we have now, seems like a lot of effort for no reason right?
