many mines in the Black Hills faced declining production and eventually closed.

But #MiningOperations continue to this day, particularly in areas where modern exploration techniques have revealed new #reserves or where mining methods have become more efficient. Mining in the #BlackHills has had significant environmental impacts, including #deforestation, #SoilErosion, and #WaterPollution, resulting in #conflicts with #NativePeoples who consider the Black Hills to be a sacred site.

"...the only effective way to end fossil fuel use (while maintaining our civilization) is to build the alternative..."

I think that's back to front: incremental renewable energy supply does not reduce fossil fuel use, it increases energy use.

The good news is that since renewable energy is now cheaper we could, with the political will and a fair market, tax carbon to the level that fossil fuel use declined at the rate we require, say to zero by 2040, and cheaper renewables were put in place to the extent* they are needed.

*A world without fossil fuel extraction, transportation and use with its conversion inefficiencies will only require 56% of the current energy. So don't need to build 44% of the alternative at all.

Better to replace capitalism with degrowth, but within the current system a carbon tax, including on carbon embedded in non-ff imports, would fix this particular crisis**.

Taxing air travel and private vehicles over 50kg at the same time would really help, spending all the incremental tax revenue on Universal Basic Services.

**It doesn't fix soil erosion, pandemics from zoonotic transfer, extinction of pollinators, populism, warmongers, religious fundamentalism, micro-plastics, corruption, AI misinformation, pollution, colonialism, social justice, methane from meat production, poverty, tipping points and sea-level rise and floods and droughts and heat-waves already locked-in... it's a very long list.

For these we'll something much more radical and miraculous.

A total disaster.

Completely avoidable given what we now understand about climate change.

Will it change things? I doubt it. Such is man's drive to make money, and to exploit nature rather than work with it.

One of the last remaining untouched areas will be ruined.

🔥Post-fire #SoilErosion
@EU_ScienceHub showcased this study whose results indicate a sharp increase in #soil losses with 19.4 million Mg additional erosion in the first post-fire year when compared to unburned conditions.

Debris torrent at site of recent culvert replacement. This should not have happened. There hasnt been enough rain to cause this under normal circumstances. A salmon bearing stream runs a few hundred yards below this road failure.
The equipment operator pulled out all the coyote bush by the roots adjacent to the site, and accidentally changed the rd hydrology just enough so water came straight down the road instead of into the culvert.
Notice the coyote bush that wasnt pulled, on the left and right of the debris torrent has not slid. A lesson to be learned, let coyote bush stand near culverts outlets. And road equipment operators who understand hydrology are extremely rare, and worth their weight in gold.
Lucky i collected a bunch of ca wild blue rye grass (Elymus Glaucus) earlier in the year from this site. I will seed it this week.

RT @P_Borrelli_: Just out our new study on the estimation of multiple concurrent #SoilErosion processes in 🇪🇺&🇬🇧. A new and interesting geography of soil erosion emerged, with not rosy future scenarios.

The study is in @naturesustainab or temporarily at SharedIt link ->
