I've said this before, and I'll say it again, over population and industrialization by the likes of Brazil, China, India and other countries are the biggest threats to the environment at this point, at least from a global perspective. The US and Europe are but blips on the radar at this point. But hey, keep screaming for the Green Initiative when these countries won't buy into it.
I'm all for protecting our environment in the US for my kids, grand kids, etc. I want them to have access to clean water, forests to hunt & hike in and clean air to breathe. Anyone who opposes that is stupid and I think we all agree on that. I think there are instances like in the case of DuPont and Monsanto where there is knowing, willful neglect and those companies and officers need to be punished severely for causing harm. I also think the EPA telling a farmer or land owner that he can't build a pond on his land or do this or that is also harmful. There has to be some balance. I don't have all the answers, but I'm certainly willing to sit down and discuss, but the shrill screams from the left have become so repetitive without any real or meaningful solutions that's just background noise to me at this point.
