  Conflicts, Rationalizations, Misrepresentations

  I find it amusing how proud Glenn is of his moniker for Cynthia Carroll...Chemical Ali much??  Blurring details of the original article in the Washington Post to fit his "Cyanide" theme...I thought it referred to the copper killing the sense of smell, but then again I am not a biologist.  What really capped the whole article for me was the add by Brilliant Earth a sponsor of Grist's website advertising "Conflict Free" Diamonds and "Eco-Friendly Gold".  Brilliant Earth boasts on their website they obtain diamonds from Canadian sources the "Ekati and the Diavik mine"; which are owned and operated by two of the largest Mineral companies in the world, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.  I am certain that those companies never have negative impacts on the environments in which they operate (read sarcasm).  It's funny taking the mineral industry and "Cindy" to task while using their funding...rationalizations indeed.On Mining CEO loves gold, hates fish posted 1 year, 3 months ago 3 Responses
