So in summation "whoops" is an acceptable explanation for killing off a species or two or more.

Title: Mental Health Damaged After Oil Mixed With Water Description: Photograph of several fishing boats tied up in a harbor. One boat is named the "Mad Hatter", another the "Bipolar." A fisherman is sitting on the bow of the latter. Photographer: Marshall Mayer aka @authentic.photo Date and Time: September 6, 2010 at 6:30 pm Location: North Harbor Drive, Valdez, AK USA License: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Caption: The damage done by the Exxon Valdez disaster—still the largest oil spill in a pristine area—has never been adequately addressed. Exxon and the oil industry owns Alaska—every resident gets a pitiful annual dividend from oil royalties paid to the state by extractors. Everyone is addicted, a mental health issue, to that check.

Brilliant article.

This is why we need historical research - to set the record straight and speak truth to power. And challenge enduring narratives based on lies.

[8/10] The Weda Bay deposit supplies the world's production of batteries for electric vehicles. Eramet presents it as a pillar of the green transition, but practices on site call into question this promise of sustainability.

3/13 Projects like the Coastal GasLink pipeline are often driven through Indigenous territories without proper consent. Those favouring fossil fuel expansion are naturally drawn to viewpoints that limit Indigenous claims to land or self-determination.

[9/10] En 2024, WBN a généré 386 millions d’euros de bénéfices pour ses actionnaires. Mais pour les habitants, la ruée vers le nickel est un désastre écologique. Le chrome 6, le mercure et le plomb rendent l’eau impropre à la consommation. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining
