Once again you have made a pivotal post. Recycling causes heavy metal pollution!

Thank you, that gives me a lot of ammunition.

Hey, there’s a franchise open in your area! You too! can be a certified distributor of Murkury Credits!

We even have a celebrity spokesperson. We can cobble together CGI endorsements from stock footage, and Freddy Mercury is dead, so we won't have to pay him!

Mercury credits? OK, this one's a stretch:

On the reverse is the fasces (birch rods and axe), which is the etymological source of "fascism".

I read another article recently about an estimate that the North Atlantic current may decline faster than previously expected, even without more warming. Now that the climate numbers are starting to turn against their global warming scenario they’re going for other global catastrophies to shore up their global taxation scheme.

But after falling to the ground, it is converted by bacteria into methylmercury

While it is the bacteria causing the problem, mankind will again get the blame.

Already been shot down in my opinion.

False Alarm
Filed under: Climate Changes, Gulf Stream —
“False Alarm: Atlantic Conveyor Belt Hasn’t Slowed Down After All” is the title of a “News of the Week” piece in this week’s (November 17, 2006) Science magazine by science writer Richard Kerr (for those with a subscription, you can view the whole story, here).

Kerr’s piece starts off with the line “A closer look at the Atlantic Ocean’s currents has confirmed what many oceanographers suspected all along: There’s no sign that the ocean’s heat-laden ‘conveyor’ is slowing.”

The rest of the story here

Oh yeah. I still remember all the “dont eat the fishes” campaigns because of mercury fears from the ‘70s or was it early ‘80s? Anyhoo, sometime around in that general time frame.

We do a lot of fishing and are very much aware of the continuing situation of mercury in fish. Here's a much more recent consumption guideline for mercury & PCB's in fish:

Lets see if I got this right?

Mercury is occurring naturally in the environment, so we must shut down factories to save the environment from mercury that’s not coming from factories.

Some mercury in the atmosphere comes from volcanoes and forest fires (since all plants contain at least small amounts of mercury). However, by far, most mercury in the atmosphere is human-caused, and it mainly comes from three sources: burning coal and oil (since the plants these fuels came from contained mercury), incineration of garbage (mostly due to batteries and fluorescent bulbs) and cremation (from dental fillings).

Didn’t the ecos decide it wasn’t atmospheric, but rather fish born concentrations or some such?

And, in an attempt to be serious for a sec, does mercury occur at all, naturally, in water sources? Seems lots of minerals do, salt and such. I know uranium in ground water is an issue in places long the Sierra Nevadas because of natural deposits of the stuff, as well as some from older mining efforts.

Not saying human causes should or could be nil, just curious about how the natural part might also be working in to the problem.
