The air is going to be fine. But, you know, the wildlife might actually have something to worry about! LOL

[Thebaddog]

I methaned in their general direction. That should give them something to really complain about.

I still have yet to have anyone tell me how drilling in the AWNR is going to help. Every report I've seen says that production in the AWNR will never get to a level that it will affect oil and gas pricing in the U.S. If that's true, I can't see why it should be done.

There would be plenty of air to meet the needs of every life form on this planet, if only those environmentalists would stop hyper ventilating.

"Environmentalists See Trouble for Air, Wildlife in Bush's Second Term"

Yes sir!

Trouble for the air is that US military jet aircraft are gonna suck it all up.

Trouble for the wildlife is all them there Al Qaeda types are gonna get killed.

Sorry ... I just couldn't help myself. ;)

Weren't we supposed to be underwater and/or under a new ice cap by now??

>>Republicans in Congress plan to re-examine other landmark 1970s laws: the Endangered Species Act protecting rare plant and animal species and their habitats, and the National Environmental Policy Act that requires the government to judge beforehand if actions might damage natural resources.<<

These are the two biggies passed under Richard Nixon's administration that seriously need to be closely reexamined. The NEPA requires Federal agencies to examine how their proposals for action will affect the human environment but species listings by the USFWS and NMFS pursuant to the ESA essentially circumvent the NEPA requirements for the Federal agency to examine economic impacts of their action. Also NEPA requires public dislosure and participation in the decision-making process. ESA does not.

Nixon created environmental and Democrats have tried to exploit it. Now, like other issues, it's liberals looking for a cause and are indifferent as to the effect. No thinking, no science, just something for them to fight for and draw attention to their incomplete lives.

The Bugs and Bunny crowd are irrelevant.

When I see the millions of them walking along the highways (foraging for food along the way?) to their next demonstration, I'll take them seriously.

This speaks the truth about enviroschizophrenia,ITS ALL IMAGINARY.

I was DUmpster diving and noticed a thread about lots of whales and dolphins mysteriously beaching themselves in New Zealand. I thought to myself "Now there's a thread they can't possibly blame on George W Bush". Wrong-o.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or both at their stupid tinfoil responses. You see, Bush has implemented a sinister and evil weapon, sonar that blows out the eardrums of whales and dolphins as uncaring imperialist warmongering sailors laugh and shoot their carcasses.

"All the whales will soon be killed by this device. Bush is the first human to deploy this underwater weapon."

"His destructive nature just never stops hurting innocents."

"Bush and his ilk in the oil companies. I am so sad and angry. It just never stops."

"if there's any justice in the world, next time Bush goes on an Aircraft carrier he'll fall off the side and get eaten by a whale."

"I'm ashamed to be human in this modern society. I've tried. I've tried my best."

Are they insane, or merely crazy? I rest my case.

[RightWhale]

The air is in trouble. The water is in trouble. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes are in trouble. The moon and Mars are in trouble. The sun is in trouble. Christmas is in trouble. Blame must be placed.

oh no, Mr. Bill ! We're all gonna die!!!.....

He does not plan to change his mind on his rejection of the Kyoto international climate treaty that would impose mandatory caps on carbon dioxide emissions. "Kyoto's unworkable," Connaughton said.

Best news of the week (except for the great progress in eradicating terrorist vermin in Iraq).
