You cannot imagine anything possibly worse for our environment than a mining surge. Mining is so destructive and toxic on multiple levels: the habitat, the animals, the humans, the soil, the water, the air. It destroys everything for generations and generations.
We are now in the middle of a mining surge like never before in history. They want to mine more copper in the next 20 years than in the previous 10,000.
Instead of slowing down, we are accelerating towards collapse
