This was great, I too have tried to argue with proponents of circular economy, it's logically just more of what we already do, just more dug in, literally.
You quote a single example of salt being something mined that is created naturally, naturally recycled, and that is cool.
But you miss that hydrogen created from sunlight is additional to what was already on the planet. And look, the energy that created it was for free.
That is creation, and reduction of temperature, all at the same time.
Because they are the same, reduction of temperature is creation by definition.
Our messed up, destroy the planet for profit science doesn't clarify that, this is a typical energy deception that the energy slaves can't see.
Maybe we see it now?
creation is infinitely sustainable, it's only destruction which is unsustainable.
