Beavers and Tierra del Fuego ecosystems didn't evolve together.
Beavers and Irish ecosystems DID evolve together.

You have to be extremely careful where you introduce them. Just 20 Canadian beavers and their descendants have spent most of the last century destroying Tierra del Fuego. I’ve visited this area and the destruction is devastating. www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...
Argentina brought beavers to Tierra del Fuego. It was not a good idea.
In 1946, the government wanted to create a fur industry. More than 70 years later, it’s clear the ecosystem wasn’t meant to cope with them.

Fossil fuels are subsidised by governments - whether directly, through tax breaks or by allowing them to pollute + pass clean up costs onto the taxpayer. In turn, plastics + chemicals made from fossil fuels are artificially cheap. This is not a level playing field.

The government’s suggestion that rolling out 20 minute courses on writing “AI“ prompts, sponsored by Google, Microsoft and Amazon, is somehow comparable to the founding of the Open University (the Wilson government‘s, & Jennie Lee’s, proudest achievement), is an insult to our human intelligence.
