  • Article argues that money spent is not recovered properly and highly subsidized for the users.

    By that logic anything that gives more than it takes like road, infra, etc all are not good.

    I think the whole point of having these regulations is to take side of people who use the space and regulate the private companies who would try to maximize profits while giving bare minimum required to keep things running.




  • You fell for the clickbait. When comparin organisms outside mammals by biomass the stydy says.

    The sum of the biomass across all taxa on Earth is ≈550 Gt C, of which ≈80% (≈450 Gt C; SI Appendix, Table S2) are plants, dominated by land plants (embryophytes). The second major biomass component is bacteria (≈70 Gt C; SI Appendix, Tables S3–S7), constituting ≈15% of the global biomass. Other groups, in descending order, are fungi, archaea, protists, animals, and viruses, which together account for the remaining <10%.

    Today, the biomass of humans (≈0.06 Gt C; SI Appendix, Table S9) and the biomass of livestock (≈0.1 Gt C, dominated by cattle and pigs; SI Appendix, Table S10) far surpass that of wild mammals, which has a mass of ≈0.007 Gt

    We dominate the mammals space but we are barely visible in front of the plants, bacterias and fungi on the planet earth.
