It's true that hydro has a huge impact on the environment, but it is good for the climate. I think it can be worth it to build some hydro power to replace coal. If we don't, and the climate is fucked, then not having built the dam isn't helping the environment either.
If you pre-destory the environment you are trying to save I'm not sure what you've accomplished. If climate change is envirionmental problem 1a) then habitat destruction is certainly 1b) and low-density renewable energy sources are a huge problem here as are riparian-destorying damns.
I strongly disagree. They lied to themselves and to the world believing the notebooks have been misplaced and not stolen. The ‘no lie’ approach is clearly a part of the problem.
Given that modern humans carry Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA (and who knows how many other subspecies DNA), I prefer to think we humped them to extinction.
And we don't even stop there. Never minding the flashy war/genocide aspects, we self-select mono cropping to a detrimental degree to our species genetic diversity.
humans self selecting for a lack of genetic diversity (as we do) creates a monocrop of humans with all the susceptibility that entails.
Perhaps a real geneticist will chime in, but I seem to recall we can find more genetic diversity within a family of another species say chimps or dogs than we do across the entire human species. We thought our lack of diversity was due to some "bottleneck" event where the global human population dropped to around 10K. But then we sequenced neanderthal and had to re adjust that to many repeated bottle necks each decreasing the chance of being it being a correct hyposisis as just one bottleneck is unproven.
A different explanation is there were no global bottlenecks just the multitude of day to day local choices we have been making for a long time.

From a CS perceptive I would describe it as too much DFS not enough BFS which matters because backtracking means we go extinct.
The algoritthm is driven by engagement, wich is driven by misinformation, because that’s what people click more. So then a lot of more misinformation is written to feed this need. Clearly a lot of money is involved
If anyone is interested in this, or wanna refresh your memory, you should watch the docufilm Zero Days (2016) by Alex Gibney (most of his ‘movies’ are quite interesting)
