- jacquesm 9y agoI'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you meant that sarcastically. https://www.google.com/search?q=rio+tinto+environmental+damage https://www.google.com/search?q=rio+tinto+environmental+dama... For just one example. Resource extractors of all kinds are among the worlds biggest polluters and destroyers of habitats and entire eco systems.
- marcosdumay 9y agoI don't think there is any other interpretation possible for the GP. I don't think we should adopt the habit of postpending a "\s" everywhere, at least not on HN.

- Finnucane 9y agoNow I have to wonder if the downvotes are people not getting the sarcasm or are offended that I might be snarky about the mining industry.
