Comparing solar to oil spills sets the bar at catastrophe.

Yes, Deepwater Horizon and Exxon Valdez were horrific. But the goal of climate action isn’t to be less destructive than disasters. It’s to stop normalizing ongoing habitat loss as acceptable collateral.
Try to understand how tiny this amount of land is.
Will there be negative impacts? Yep of course, but how does it compare to the positive impacts?

How does it compare to power generation using fossil fuels?
Or to Deepwater Horizon, Exxon Valdez?

I think it's net positive.

Animals affect ecosystems within ecological limits. Industrial systems override them.

No animal flattens mountaintops, fragments watersheds, mines globally, & redistributes materials at planetary scale.

Invoking animals normalizes impacts that are categorically different in magnitude & permanence.

I wish cutting a young tree was the worst thing park visitors did.

Litter, human and dog feces, carved initials, harassed wildlife; all now routine in many parks.

The linear extrapolation of the past 15 years and the nonlinear 30-year extrapolation now both put global warming at +1.54°C above 1850-1900.

Reaching +2°C in 2037 or 2034.

The 30-year non-linear extrapolation now shows +3°C in 2049!

I consider this unlikely but not impossible (considering Earth's Energy Imbalance has more than doubled).

From a precautionary principle perspective we should plan accordingly.
