[at-l] An Inconvenient Truth

[Carol Donaldson]

That's ignorant.  Clean water means more people come, bring money, and go fishing or kayaking/canoeing/boating.    There are ways to farm that don't pollute the water, it just takes a bit more time and human energy.  And most folks are just plain lazy.  If it were not so, then there'd be no litter lining our roads and highways and rivers.

Everyone claims to want "pristine" but then when they find out how much it will "cost" them in time and muscle, they quickly change their minds.

  To claim that thousands of scientists are wrong, and the handful of skeptics are right, reminds me of the debate about cleaning Maine rivers 40 years ago. The real doomsayers, then and now, are not those who wanted a clean up, but those who insisted clean rivers would create an economic disaster.
