You don’t think it all kinda comes from the same place? Maybe having a sense of humility about your place in the world, and a desire to be more accommodating to the systems that make the world function?

I bet the reindeer get used to it and then don't give a shit.

"here's why", got a non-clickbait version?
CascadianExpat t1_jak8soh wrote
This is why I understand why climate change skeptics don’t trust environmentalists. If someone really thinks carbon emissions are going to kill flipping everything on Earth, they wouldn’t be bitching about whether windmills interfere with caribou grazing, or whether dams interfere with salmon spawning, or whether nuclear power plants present some small risk of a meltdown. Why do you expect me to believe you when you tell me I need to get my electricity from more expensive sources or all the caribou will die, if you complain when I try to build a windmill somewhere a caribou might eat?
Edit: ITT, myopic partisans proving my point. Thanks, y’all, you’ve managed to further reduce my faith in humanity.

When there's a team of four, and three quit "for personal reasons" a week previous... I'm going to guess that it was more interpersonal reasons. Fifty-fifty whether the girl who performed solo is the heroine of this story.

Then maybe you know what happened to the rest of the team?

I think it's about the noise. They probably scare away the reindeer. I do think there is plenty of land elsewhere for them to use and they should respect these people's land

At least half that crowd is familiar with tiger blood.

Wind farms are very noisy and reindeer are very sensitive to disturbances. This in combination with continuous governmental exploitation of colonised land in Sápmi, makes for a good reason to protest this.

There was a time that this may have been true, but wind farms are definitely net negative on carbon in this decade.
If we're going to discuss this further, we need a source for the claim that they're still net carbon positive (not from an oil company propaganda website).

This, but also the carbon emissions that are created to produce the materials for wind turbines is not worth the clean energy the turbines produce.

I mean yeah why can't they? I get that there are some access roads but those shouldn't be very busy.

No there isn't. Please tell me there isn't.

Reply to comment by CatAvailable3953 in Former Navy pilot testifies that he witnessed UFOs with his ‘own eyes', calls on Biden to investigate by DangerStranger138
This interview is fairly recent, and breaks it down in Fravors own words, which is nice.
But there's also this forensic analysis, it goes deep into the velocities and g forces reported, and covers the sensors used. The fact that the UAP were detected on multiple platforms, over multiple days from multiple credible witnesses is why I think that event cluster is the gold standard for study.
It's not enough to be conclusive, but that's because I think we struggle to record it. Still deserves a closer look I think

I would like to think if we had the ability we would do the same.

So there are a ton of rabbit holes, hoaxes and bullshitters in the ufo world.
To cut through all of the chaff, I have been using the same criteria as the pentagons office to decide what is actually unexplained, what is prosaic.
One of the criteria is low observability, which as you say - concealing themselves would make sense if they are here to survey.

Just wanted to say thanks to OP for posting this. I needed some humor today.
PS: At least they caught him.

Yeah. I actually thought it was kind of lame both parents picked her brother instead of one for each. Frankly, she needed more support. He actually had a team.

Wow, you're deeply misinformed about climate change.
