      Also, I never claimed that the entirety of conservation is based on the false premise that human intervention by killing wildlife is somehow good ecologically. But it is in fact a part of it.

      This thread reminds me of the gymnastics that pundits perform to make it seem like coal mining is akshually good for curbing the effects of climate change.

      Correct, capitalist 'economics' is a motivated construct. You can do anything you need to with money, because it isn't real. You can lend it, transfer it, or even borrow it from the future. It is incredibly malleable because it's only constraints are social.

      Ecological functions exist with or without us. The demands of a biosphere are concrete and fundamental. You can't lend species diversity, transfer a food web or borrow a soil microboime from the future. If an imbalance exists in nature, no amount of creative accounting will erase it's effects.

      A human-made approach towards a human-made problem occurring within a human-made system is not comparable to a human-made approach towards a thermodynamics problem as old as life.
