A very important read. I was just in the area, ground-truthing at other potential lithium mines in the same area. My friend and I drove by Thacker Pass, which we had both visited during the campaign, and were shocked and dismayed to see the work underway. It's really horrific what's going on out there. Thank you for being an advocate.
You might be interested in Rob Lewis’s essay on Millan Millan. There are two legs to the climate; CO2 and LAND USE. Millan discovered this when investigating why the summer storms were disappearing in the Mediterranean, this was due to the increased urbanization of the coast.
The IPCC, the media, industry and governments all latched onto and focused on the CO2 narrative. LAND USE as a climate driver is troublesome because it was hard to model and because it obviously fucks with a lot of “green development” plans...
