It seems to me that the most important factor is not being mentioned here. That is money - who funds the research. Its a simple enough problem - eg if you wanted papers to show anything - eg 'that koalas cause forest fires in Australi

I think this is a great idea. I really like the principle. But it does miss the point that you need a huge amount of resources. Plus 20 billion or so to get Apple to use your search.

Interesting video, thanks. Fwiw, the 2 factors you mention - urbanisation and reduced wetlands - would fall into bad town planning, in my book, ie a local cause.

Also, 'chutzpah' which has a sense of being proud of trying to get away with it, unashamed.

Deforestation would cause water too run off more quickly, overwhelming local services, drains, ditches. Building on flood plains also puts people at risk - rivers might not flood every year. These factors could play a role in this situati

Good answer, but isn't that a practical answer, based on consensus? Ie its what people believe is true, but might not be actually true.

Re 1 - aren't people mostly doing bullshit jobs already? Re 2 - fakery in videos and images has been a part since their inception. So, don't worry, I guess? The only thing is the scale of bs that could be put out, and whether the

Yes - but do consider the possibility that this sort of notation will also add further value to an old book. There could be an mercenary angle, eg the possibility that this will bring in additional visitors to the Library. This is the seco

Do you really think housing is cheaper? That people don't spend most of their salary on their tiny flat? The whole thing is a wheeze to make people spend even more on (crappy) housing, energy etc, but to feel good doing so, cos they a

I was responding to a comment that is supportive of strong cities etc. Really, what I object to, is this unstated transfer of power, from governments to the UN. The UN decides policy, local government implements it - changing legislation e

Is it impossible to you that removal (and addition) of legislation could form part of a coordinated thrust towards implementing certain other goals? Every local government has plans to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). Did you
