Government-backed ecological destruction outweighs democratic criticism; high irreversible harm risk. | The public criticism of the Greater Nicobar project highlights legitimate ecological concerns and democratic engagement, but the underlying project itself poses severe risks to biodiversity and planetary boundaries. The net ethical position is negative due to the irreversible harm the project could inflict on a fragile ecosystem, outweighing the value of the criticism.
