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.

It’s pollution, dammit!

How dare you make such a reasonable assumption that naturally occurring tannin could be involved!

You’re definitely not a friend of the earth...are you?!

Of course it is tannin and quercitin, etc.

Sometimes it is from iron-metabolizing bacteria.

They were here long before both Gore and "Talking Bull".
