You have to wonder if this person has ever visited Mauna Kea.

"The environmental impacts of the TMT project are significant. For example, the Palila is an endangered bird species whose home is in the mamane-naio forest, which is found only on Mauna Kea. The forest provides the habitat and food supply for the bird. Other endangered species that reside on the mountain include the Mauna Kea silversword. There are also many endemic species of Mauna Kea such as the flightless wēkiu bug, the Douglas’ bladderfern, and a Lithobius centipede. Endemic species can only survive in the habitat they are found in, meaning if Mauna Kea were no longer a viable home for these species, they would disappear."
PS. I just sent the author an email. Let's see what happens.
PPS. The next paragraph is a real doozy as well, mixing up so many things.
"The mountain itself is a unique ecosystem. Also known as ‘the White Mountain’, the summit receives seasonal snow, a rarity in climate change. It is an aeolian ecosystem, meaning it is shaped by the winds. Construction on the mountain would disturb Mauna Kea’s rare geology. As climate change accelerates around the world, it’s important for us to protect these unique natural landscapes."
