'Earth Mother getting angry'
AP via The Concord Monitor ^ | June 18, 2007 | Unattributed

From New Hampshire to California, American Indian leaders are speaking out more forcefully about the danger of climate change.

Members of six tribes recently gathered near the Baker River in the White Mountains for a sacred ceremony honoring "Earth Mother." Talking Hawk, a Mohawk Indian who asked to be identified by his Indian name, pointed to the river's tea-colored water as proof that the overwhelming amount of pollution humans have produced has caused changes around the globe.

So, one “tea-colored” river means that we are causing global climate change? What more evidence do we need?

That’s kind of ironic, Walking Eagle noticed the tea colored water and thought it looked like whiskey.

>> People are getting crazier by the day.

Well, this nutball pseudo-science movement is, anyhow.

They can’t even agree what’s going on anymore. It’s gone from “global warming” to the much more nebulous “climate change”.

And the name of the game used to be “hit ‘em over the head with science”. Now, as more and more credentialed scientists call it hooey, and the money motive comes out, they’re hiding behind their Earth Mommie and substituting anecdotal bullcrap from Native Americans.

Next we’ll be hearing “evidence” from Kenyan witch doctors.

So is it really pollution or is it naturally occuring tannin like many of the rivers in Michigan's UP? Like Taquanamon falls for example.

Meanwhile, at the Indian Casino...

Tea colored water? Probably comes from the Tannen of fallen leaves.

At a United Nations meeting last month, several American Indian leaders spoke at a session called "Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Change." Also in May, tribal representatives from Alaska and northern Canada - where pack ice has vanished earlier and earlier each spring - traveled to Washington to press their case.

Gee, I can't go to Washington and talk about what my God thinks. The liberals have outlawed it.

The "tea color" is [usually] due to natural processes - like decaying vegetation in/under the water source -- producing tannic acids -- that do not affect the purity of the water source -- only the color.

This Walking Eagle soothsayer... or anyone else thereabouts...
Needs to read a science book...

JMHO
