I don't see why its so ironic. The environment isn't a binary. Its a complex system where the same thing can have both good and bad effects on different parts.

I don't see why its so ironic. The environment isn't a binary. Its a complex system where the same thing can have both good and bad effects on different parts. Conservationists aren't climate change scientists. They are both going to be focused on the separate parts of the environment they specialize in.
- FridayoLeary 1y agoWe can evaluate if these projects as a net positive or negative for the enviroment. The enviroment can be divided into local and wider. Which is why i'm suspicious of how good electric cars are for example. If this project will wreak havoc on the local enviroment that is certainly very important and the irony of the situation is that it is getting sidelined in favour of broader enviromental concerns. I don't know what respective weights to attach to them, but the cynic in me says that washington prefers a big project which has better optics, then more local concerns.
