News: PLS Australia risks losing pole position in critical minerals race, page-49

I doubt that, old boy. At least one of my books on how specific arboreal native animals react to changing temperature and weather is required reading for biology students in most Australian and British universities, among other accolades (apologies for blowing one's trumpet to make a point). You see, Convoy, what the conspiracy nuts don't appreciate is that the study of global warming (call it what you will) is a collaboration between literally hundreds of scientific persuasions/specialists in order to arrive at the most probable consensus/cause. Think of it like all the specialists required to build a complex piece of machinery. They only have a basic understanding of the entire machine outside their own specialty, and yet combined they independently (the paradox) produce a finely tuned, complex machine (ie, how many science specialist does it take to send a manned rocket into outer space?). And when all of the GW related/connected sciences arrive at an almost unanimous conclusion/observation as they have, well folks should sit up in their chair and listen to the purr of a complex machine and rage at the broken cogs of the conspiracy apparatus.
And yes, it would be naive to think that EV's and battery storage is going to solve the excess carbon problem entire (our current combined human induced and natural carbon/Co2 emissions now higher than the Carboniferous Period ), but it will sure help to build the complex renewable machine required to lower the clear and present risk posed by the 'Anthropocene Period' of man. So it is that companies like PLS and other battery metal players are integral in the amelioration of said risks. And it is that IMPERATIVE among all others macro and micro that will drive the EV/battery sector to rival and eventually usurp the fossil fuel industry. And who among we chaps and goils doesn't want to make a $bob or two whilst saving the World .
