Some people have sight problems, or are even totally blind. But they still use the Internet.

The missing figure on the website is an estimate of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted for this project, both during construction and throughout its operation.
Any article about impending catastrophes that may well end up wiping us all from the Planet are a bit hard to tolerate. When we are confronted to them our brain automatically trigger its best protection mechanism, which is denial. We immediately think of thousands of reasons convincing us that the article is wrong, misinformed, etc. Another article with any explanation of why the first one is wrong is therefore much more pleasant to our brain. That's why denial articles get more coverage. That's also why we don't clearly see the reality and why we do nothing to prevent our impending doom.
