ALGORE is channeling Native Americans?

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

[MCRD]

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

[almcbean]

What’s Al Gore’s Indian name? Big Chief Lock Box? Great Carbon Footprint?

[rbosque]

Wow. People are getting crazier by the day.

pointed to the river's tea-colored water as proof that the overwhelming amount of pollution humans have produced

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.

[sgtbono2002]

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.

[reagan_fanatic]

Great. So on top of the usual gaggle of enviroweenies running around crying and screaming their little heads off, now we have injun trouble...

[BuffaloJack]

If I ever seek advice from a witch doctor, then I will have had a lobotomy and become a Dem.

[wolfcreek]

I seriously doubt Native Americans would join this Algorian cause. They know, as many of us do, there are some problems with pollution and some human caused GW on this plant but, they have never been known to *tag along*.

[Sans-Culotte]

Even if the river is polluted, it does not mean it has anything to do with “climate change”. Global warming BS is one thing, a river full of sewage another.

To be honest, I don't really care about any of that. But I would pay him handsomely, if he could come to my house in Florida and make it rain.

“After reading the book, Sutton said he agrees with the American Indian philosophy of life: Use nature respectfully, never taking more than is needed.”

I do believe history shows the Indian tribes hardly followed this philosophy. The general rule was settle in an area, use up the natural resources, and when they are gone, move on to another site. Studies show the tribes often wrought ecological ruin where they settled.

That said, I have no problem with advocating a symbiotic relationship with nature, so long as humankind is recognized as having a respectable place in that relationship. I have a real problem with those who advocate that humankind either disappear (that is, those humans other than the enlightened advocates) or go back to the caves.

That is such cr*p. They burned forest to drive out game.
Drove herds of buffalo over cliffs to kill them by the hundreds. And many other not terribly nature friendly things.

I frankly am tired of this whole noble mystic of the plains nonsense.

[Continental Soldier]

“Native Americans have always been close to the land and have treated the land well.”

Really? I guess all of those migrations of tribes after they have stripped the land bare of crops and game were just part of their overall plan of crop and game rotation. Ok, now I get it.

...and the answer is the election of Hillary Clinton. :D
