Justice is about so much more than minimizing harms
from: thetyee.ca/Culture/2023...
In the Pitfall introduction, I similarly recount how an oil and gas CEO silenced a room of activists at a conference I was attending, simply by asking if any of them used oil. It’s a successful rhetorical strategy, because it reflects an indisputable truth. We can’t live in comfort without mining. Where I differ with this speaker, is what we should do about this dependence. If we need mining, especially to save the world from climate change, how well we do it must be everyone’s business. How do we minimize the harms?
