You need to tell that to all of the deer that poop in my yard. Or the flock of 60 or so turkey that meander through. Or the ducks down in the creek that I fish in.
All within 1/2 mile of a former mine portal turned CNX R&D laboratory.
I mean, I live directly in the epicenter of all this environmental catastrophe of the last century. I hike in the woods that were permanently “destroyed” and eat the food that grows from this barren wasteland.
I mean for gods sake, theres a fucking bear living in the collapsed remnant of a mines vent shaft. Somebody tell that poor bear the folley of its ways. It shouldn’t even exist here, let alone weigh like 300lbs.
You guys have bought the hype, hook line and sinker.
Im no berkanstoke wearing tofu eating liberal but I agree with 98% of the science community…Ignoring reality just to keep up with your party line is lame…Dems say shit I dissagree with all the time…Its ok not buy everything… If you don’t tust science then smoke a pack of cigs every day or eat McDonald’s 24\7… Those scientists must be full of it too… Wanting Earth to be livable isnt a political issue. Theres more to Earth than USA fyi… The glaciers arent in my backyard yet Im aware every year they get smaller… Dont live in Cali or TX but Im aware of water shortages and droughts… And no I dont drive a prius its a F250😏
From the barren wasteland of the industrial revolution…
Oh yeah, these are just anecdotes. Nothing to see here, just an apex predator returned from the brink of extinction. Please continue with hand wringing and needlessly expensive job killing regulations.
The HIGHLY politicized and partisan nature of the Global Warming debate has completely…and I mean completely clouded the whole area of environmental protection and regulation. Also; I fully admit that creating a huge, unwieldy bureaucracy to oversee it all seems to have made it even worse.
I’ve had friends ruined by the EPA’s overreach…but I’m also seen, and continue to see the consequences of slack under-regulation when industry is allowed to Dump it, Drill it and Spill it with little oversight.
Everybody…Left and Right…better get their heads out of their asses.
Google “Man-Made Environmental Disasters in the United States” (hell…don’t even bother with Worldwide), if you think it’s all some Left-Created conspiracy, SkysykS.
If that does’t convince you of the need for continued vigilance when it comes to the Environment, nothing will…
Science in liberal schools has been poisoned. It’s not so much that I’m against science, it’s that I don’t believe an honest discussion on environmental impact of humans has occurred.
Pretty much anywhere between the western boundary of Pennsylvania and the middle of the state, the entirety of north to south, but have occasionally wandered into New York.
I’ll have a couple here and there but mostly catch and release. They have to be from a nice spring creek to taste good, otherwise they’re muddy.
I understand the consumption warnings and why they’re in place. I just don’t understand how life at every level of the food chain can thrive in this post apocalyptic industrial wasteland.
One of the biggest causes of environmental degradation is population growth and population density. Knowing this, why isn’t your average tree hugger not pushing for immigration reform?
Man, I’ve been there and done that. What I can’t rectify is the difference between these stories of an impending environmental apocalypse and the reality of what has happened, how the environments have recovered, and their current natural state after being gang raped by some of the worlds most notorious industrial robber barrons.
I mean, were talking about an entire region that got tooled by the best of the worst- Carnegie, Getty, The Mellons, Frick. They turned the skies black at noon.
Did you check out that eagle cam, or the story behind it?
