Sometimes you have to destroy the village to save the village and sometimes you have to kill the gorillas to make it possible for dot com execs to drive luxury electric cars… to save the planet.
Mining for EVs, batteries could wipe out 1/3 of African great apes
A third of Africa’s gorillas, bonobos and chimpanzees are at risk because they live in areas that overlap with mining operations for metals critical to the global clean energy transition.
Nearly 180,000 great apes in Africa are under threat as mining activities drive deforestation, according to a study published on Wednesday in Science Advances.
It’s okay. I’m sure the apes will understand.
Their sacrifice will make it possible for government employees in bedroom communities in Fairfax, VA to commute to work in a luxury SUV EV to D.C. where they can then figure out how to raise costs on the middle class even more.
It’s a beautiful evolutionary cycle of life in which gorillas must die to make way for Teslas. Every time a chimpanzee dies, a Rivian will roar and when a bonobo goes down, a Mercedes with one of those logo lights in the door handles that sounds like a spaceship will emerge on the showroom floor.
Environmentalists used to think that we had to protect nature. Then they stopped protecting nature and focused on their true love, destroying affordability of consumer good and services for the working class and middle class.
Going green now means taking away shopping bags, gas stoves, and cars. And also killing gorillas.
But to paraphrase the great New York Times journalist Walter Duranty, “You can’t make green energy without killing gorillas.”
And since the environmentalists are saving the planet for the gorillas by killing the gorillas to make electric cars, it’s all in a good cause.
I first noticed the environmental movement going wrong when the Sierra Club sold out for a large cash donation, and switched from opposing illegal immigration for environmental reasons, to supporting illegal immigration. Must have been many decades ago, maybe the 1970s or 1980s.
Algo, I hope you are writing down your life’s story and your memories of the great men preceding you so that your legacy may continue into the future.
Even the Audubon Society went P.C. All that global climate warming change bullshit. At least it doesn’t steal our tax dollars like the Sierra Club, that I know of. Last I knew, it depends on donations. John Muir must be spinning in his grave along with Theodore Roosevelt. James Audubon is probably ready to spin.
My mother is a bird watcher and she got me into it, too. I’m like the Bart Simpson of bird watchers, though. I mimic the bird calls of different bird species when I can. It’s funny to see which ones are smart, like jays, crows, robins (very uncommon here in Central CA) and even finches and other tiny ones I don’t recognize but are common here. The dumb ones like pigeons and cardinals are funny but I notice being dumb doesn’t affect their survival skills.
The Sierra Club has been evil for a long time now. It funds all kinds anti-human actions.
The preservation of the natural world has been co-opted by leftists for a long time. Very successful strategy.
ANY impulse we have for good is used against us by taking our good impulses and applying them selectively to advance the agenda of permanent power. We are too stupid to discern the misapplication and too quick surrender in the face of this wickedness.
There must be a Planet Of The Apes reference here.
Yeah, Joy Reid.
Are you under the impression that maintaining a global economy driven by fossil fuels is good for the great apes of Africa?
Yes, moron, because the great apes don’t dig their forests being cut down for lithium and other materials that don’t even matter for people, much less them.
And oil isn’t a fossil, dipshit.
I bet more raptors have been killed by windmills than DDT, but the enviros don’t care. So, add gorillas to the list of critters that must die for the greater good of leftist tyranny.
To save the polar bear, the gorillas must die…..
Killing Gorillas to prevent a totally fake threat what would Diane Fossie have to say? Just a s bad as chopping down trees to make way for Wind Turbines and Solar Panels as bad as chopping up Birds and Killing Whales with Coastal Wind Turbines are the Eco-Freaks Happy Now?
Maybe an emotional issue can stop this nonsense. Of course the climate nuts and their enablers don’t care about the African/Congolese children who do the mining but gorillas? Apparently.
A tragedy.
The hypocrisy of the “green” movement is absolutely staggering. The movement is a massive humanitarian hoax of politicized self-interest.
Consider this: Gorillas must be killed to produced “green” energy electric vehicles -> to end fossil fuels -> to move all of humanity onto the electric grid -> to become part of the Internet of Things/Internet of Bodies -> to award totalitarian control to the globalist elite who fund and foment multiple massive humanitarian hoaxes for social engineering.
The only thing green about the green movement is the transfer of money and power to the globalist elite who dreamed up the entire man-made climate change and its fraudulent “green” movement. BUYER BEWARE!
