“This Monboit bloke is sounding more bonkers by the minute. “
To be fair, he quotes other sources.
So it’s like accusing him of being bonkers for believing what that dude Darwin wrote. Or that knob Newton. Or that ratfink Einstein.
You - and other randoms on the internets - need to find credible sources that prove who Monbiot quotes is wrong, is all.
As an example, if Monbiot writes something like this:
“Chris Hartnady, research and technical director of Cape Town earth sciences consultancy Umvoto Africa, has found that South Africa’s Witwatersrand goldfields are around 95% exhausted, and anticipates that production rates should fall permanently below 100 tonnes a year within the coming decade.”
You must first find proof that Chris Hartnady is wrong then politely point this out to Monbiot rather than calling him bonkers for quoting Hartnady to inform us, via Cif, that:
“Studies suggest South Africa’s Witwatersrand goldfields are around 95% exhausted”
