What percentage of national parks will be affected by climate change? I see your point but if we have two bad options and one is absolutely worse than the other, making them look equivalent because they have some environmental impact is not helpful to protecting as much if the environment as possible.
- defrost 4y agoA surprisingly high percentage in National Parks globally (ie. many different jurisdictions) that are also (or adjacent to) indigenous lands with various treaties and contracts. eg: The US has one ~$64 billion copper resource (leased to Anglo - Australians) in native lands [1] which is an as yet unresolved and sizeable can of worms, and that's barely the start of the list (although it is the largest global pending copper project). There's a nice GIS directory of such things that we (here in W.Australia) compiled a decade ago (along with automation to run it forward) that's now a bit paywalled [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_Copper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_Copper [2] https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/campaigns/metals-mining https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/campaigns/met...
