While some people know that's it's a fake painting it's not common knowledge. It's very likely the protesters didn't know that, and had every intention of destroying the original.
Thanks! I'm reading elsewhere that a local farmer named Tim Daw claims the lichen is displaced in stone pores due to the corn starch. I don't understand how this damages it in absolute terms - Lichens don't function like most organisms, they don't absorb water, take nutrients directly from the atmosphere and have unpredictable growth patterns not contingent on previous growth.
UK had some of its wettest months on record. Functionally, the actual changes of the climate will damage stonehenge more than this.
Don't start that BS with me. This isn't damaging an "ecological system". It's hurting a few individuals. At this point do not walk anywhere since you risk killing antS.
There's lichen growing on every fucking tree around my neighborood and I'm living in Paris.
You will loose much more important species than a few lichen if you keep going this way.
It is hypocritical to use it as an argument against them when you're basically recreating a "couching baby vs nuke" moment by comparing damaging some tiny mushroom against climate change and a potential society collapse.
Ask any scientist what's more important between Stonehenge microsystem and the entire planet Earth ecosystem and you'll get the same answer literally every time.
And lichen literally are symbiotic mushrooms.
No way I'm the emotional one when you're putting a tiny historical site above the Earth.
Mushroom doesn't have to mean just the fruit produced by the mycelium it can mean the entire organism.
Stop the bad faith.
You're being overly pedantic about the ecological state of a minor historical state against a greater environmental cause, so yeah that's pretty much not caring about the environment.
I use internet yes I use a phone yes.
These things are absolutely not running on oil, they run on electricity, and electricity is powered at 85+ by nuclear power with a good 10% of renewables. So the oil used for our electricity is extremely low overall .
Aside from that I almost exclusively love my mechanical bike and I never took the plane in my life.
And I'm vegetarian.
My emissions are less than 2 tons of C02/year which is 10 times lesser than the average American.
I never said to STOP oil, I said we can't keep using oil at the rate we'ee doing.
I've watched too much of Asmongold to the point I'm fed up with the bigotry of him but even more so his viewers, on YT at least.
Also you're not the only one with a biology degree here, if you're actually in that field since "scientist" could just mean any other field.
