Bitcoin doesn't make it OK to get paid just for owning something, it's just less capitalist than dollars. Miner profits tend towards zero with difficulty adjustment, and Bitcoin doesn't pay to stake holders at all.

How is this not ok to reward those who don't spend? If we are going to stop climate change we need to stop consuming shit as much as possible

You want to stop climate change but promote bitcoin?

I have seen how much Bitcoin spares the environment. I would easily emit 5 times more CO2 if I didn't put all my money into it

You would have called me arrogant if I served you the logical demonstration. You wouldn't get it
