The Environmental Armageddon thingy is so 2004! Gee-zuhz Mark, we're you listening to a Reuben Studdard record when you typed this?!
We're currently in a tres cool retro "big oil" period. Stop being such a fuddy, you big silly!
Maybe those caribou should stop crapping in his yard.
Morford is just trying to seem to have a brilliant wit. They guy is an absolute idiot. He is lower than pond scum
Typical liberal "Save the (insert animal or plant of your choice). KILL THE PEOPLE!" rant.
Especially, God hates gay caribou. < /sarcasm>
It is a good thing that the faggoty, neocommunist, San Francisco, fruit cake, whacko, doper, anti-American, godless, diseased and dying, anti-Christian, extreme-liberal, drug crazed progressive, tinkerbell old-timey, media "journalists" are objective.
Liberalism is a psychosis.

The comments (in Italics) below are from their summary of their EIR:
Assuming a 325-bbl crude-oil spill reached or occurred within Teshekpuk Lake or reached the Colville River some TLH caribou, moose, muskoxen, and other terrestrial mammals would be exposed to part of this spill. The number of animals lost to these two spills is not likely to exceed more than a few hundred caribou, and smaller numbers of muskoxen, moose, and other terrestrial mammals are likely to be lost these two spills. These losses of terrestrial mammals are likely to be replaced within 1 year and not affect populations in the Arctic Slope.
Thus net effect of a worse case scenario, is negligible.
Oh No! Morford is on to our plan!
God loves caribou and all of His creatures.
This is the first I've heard of this policy of the religious right. Can you say straw man argument?
Bill Moyers was the first mainstream guy to write it up. ("Bill Moyers' Latest Anti-Christian Lie" – by Byron York) He did all his “research” for the theory on a single leftist wingnut internet site.
His first speech/article on the armageddon underpinings of the crazed religious right's war on the environment was written around a quote from James Watt (Reagan’s Interior Secretary) about Jesus coming back when the last tree was felled. The quote was completely bogus (Watt never said anything remotely like it in any context ever) and Moyers was forced to publically apologize for slandering Watt by attributing it to him.
But still, the goofy talking point is out there, even though Moyers sole source of research was shown to be making up his information from the ether.
Its useful as an indicator of the non-seriousness of any journalist who brings it up though. It’s a false story. It’s been proven false. It’s asinine in its contention and absurd on its face. When you read somebody writing about it, you can be sure that they are a hack who has long since abandoned any pretense of being anything resembling insightful, evenhanded, factual, or even interesting. Like Moyers. Like Morford.
Reason for posting this evil and disgusting (and quite frankly, offensive) drivel from this nut-job?
Better yet - why did you waste your time even reading it to begin with - what an utter waste of time.

A M00se once bit my sister. . . .
For the same reason He hates manufactured housing on wheels?
Oh that is hilarious. And hey, if drilling in Alaska brings on the rapture, then I'll go up there with a jackhammer myself.
God doesn't really hate caribou, Mr Morford. He just really enjoys pi$$ing you off as He plays with your feeble mind!!!!!!
That would be kind.
I understand why newspapers put token conservatives on their opinion pages, but I don't know why the SF Chronical has a token a$$hole.
I really don't.
Shalom.
