So, you still can't tell us how this is routine abuse? Come on.
If they've built on 5% of the land in 50 years, then we should have another 950 years of expansion, at that extrapolation.
You are aware there is a conservation programme running too?
- ncmncm 5y ago5% of what? They paved over 100% of what they paved over. That number will not change, however much they pave over. If the supposed conservation programme doesn't actually block paving, then it is what they call a formality. Business-as-usual is routine. The US space program was practically moribund for those 50 years. The paving was done quickly at the start. With space activity ramping up, paving will too, as we see starting already. What are you demanding as a definition of "routine" beyond paving where they like, when they like?
- _joel 5y agoThe US Space programme was moribund? No Space Shuttle launches then? You say they are routinely abusing the area and all I'm getting from that is that they've paved over areas, 5% of the area. How is this routinely abusing the area? Could you post an journal article explaining how this has routinely abused the area and put the ecosystem at risk?
- ncmncm 5y agoCould you post a journal article identifying what percentage of an already radically reduced habitat of numerous threatened and endangered species can be paved over without driving any of them closer to extinction?
