Every time there is free real estate, “let’s use it for terraforming.”
No. Let’s admit we are overpopulated and return more land to nature, before nature and wars do it naturally. It’s not because Spain is a half desert of sand that it’s not important for the Earth.
I live in France and I’m appalled that our ideology is both to be a welcome land for immigrants and “The young generation doesn’t have housing, let’s densify habitat and make fields constructible! It’s a human right!”
It’s a human right in direct contradiction with our kids’ human rights.

If the economy demands more workers then the economy must be given more workers, even if that doesn't suit the desires of the populace or the needs of the environment. People who object on either ground will be called xenophobic or ecofascist.
