I saw the title and immediately thought "is this gonna be BS". Turns out yes.
- lwhi 6y agoHow's it been shown to be BS?
- Chris2048 6y agoIt fails to mention the authorizations are "Emergency authorizations", thereby omitting relevant information to make the title more click-baity
- ashtonkem 6y agoEmergency authorizations often end up being permanent. Claiming that the entire premise of the article doesn’t hold water because it’s an “emergency” authorization is to completely ignore how emergency authorizations work in practice.
- Chris2048 6y agoI didn't claim anything about the premise of the article, I commented on the content of the title/headline.
- lwhi 6y agoRead the article. It doesn't.
- Chris2048 6y agoI was talking about the title.
- atoav 6y agoDepends on the definition of "emergency". Surely the torries will hold their promise and enforce stricter nature protection standards than the EU — absolutely no doubt about it given their track record both when it comes to environmental protection and to keeping promises.
