slow down once copper can be chemically synthesized. However, the author provides
no evidence to substantiate this assumption. Moreover, it is entirely possible that copper
mining will remain less expensive than copper synthesis. If so, there will be no
incentives, outside of regulatory ones, to slow down copper mining. In a word, the
problem of over-mining will remain.
Finally, the argument relies on the assumption that synthesizing copper will not
create the same kind of pollution problems as those resulting from the synthesis of
copper substitutes. However, the author provides no evidence to substantiate this
assumption. Without such evidence, we cannot accept the premise that pollution
problems will be eliminated by switching from producing copper substitutes to
producing copper itself.
in conclusion, I am not convinced on the basis of this argument that the time has
come to cut funding for the regulation of mining in general, or even for the regulation of
copper mining in particular. To strengthen the argument, the author must restrict the
scope of the conclusion to copper mining rather than to mining in general. The author
must also provide support for the two assumptions underlying the argument.
