One of the reasons I went to college and got Emviromental degrees, and stayed in the environmental profession for over 30 years?
Back in the '60's(and earlier)s without air, water pollution, and unabated unrestricted dumping of toxic and hazardous chemicals? We lived in a world which was on a collision course of us living in a crib in our own shit. I saw streams with fish kills, and air so smelly that it would make you nauseous. What we as a society did generally between 1975 and 1995 was remarkable in allowing our society to safely co-exist with our technology.
The sleazy MSM refuses to tell the truth, on how bad things actually used to be. Now the pendulum has swung so far to the crazy, that even so called experts will not or refuse not to understand that we have reached point of diminishing returns as far as controls. Their insane agenda has them hell bent to returning man to the 19th century. And to be brutally honest? The world as in 1800's mode can not sustain 8 billion people.
