Mining news this week continued to revolve around Australian mining giant, BHP, and their jousting with Wyloo Resources, another Australian company, over the acquisition of Noront. On the heals of the IPCC report on the devastating impacts of climate change, these companies are vying to profit off of resources that power electric vehicles, solar and batteries. These are market-based solutions that continue to drive profit, at the expense of people’s rights and sovereignty and are not a true solution to the climate crisis.
This is occurring as BHP announces it will invest $7.5 billion in its Jansen potash mine in Saskatchewan. Their investment in potash mining in predicated on predictions of further degradation of farmland and the need for heavy fertilization on depleted soils, again attempting to profit off the climate crisis.
