It’s such a weak and fallacious argument to try and say that we can’t oppose something because we live in a society in which that thing is common. And nobody is saying stop all mining everywhere right now anyway. We’re saying don’t start mining in ecological sensitive areas.

There HAS to be better ways to meet our needs than endless mining of a finite planet, and there are.

For example, seabed mining is an environmental risk, and not going to help meet the world’s renewable energy needs anyway — and doesn’t need to: www.wired.com/story/instea...

His "argument" is stupidly reminiscent of a Fox News segment I once saw, all The Worst Possible Pundits complaining about some march on inequality, but *especially* their fears over "children brainwashed by Marxism", (MY GOD, THE CHILDREN) "who have cellphones!" It's so stupid it really does hurt.
