I think the reason that this bothers me so much is that I care about the planet so much because I want to ensure a good quality of life for my children. As long as people are talking apples and oranges, we can not have an intelligent discussion about what is happening in the environment.

Good article and I agree with you. Back in the '70s, I worked very hard supporting environment issues.

Unfortunately, the more I worked in the field documenting actual pollution cases, the more I realized something was wrong with the picture.

Oh sure, I was able to take some horrifying film of a waterfall with 3 feet of soap suds at it's base. Everyone was disgusted with the images and thanked me for my work. What I did not show, was a thriving community of fish only 3 feet away. Why? Because my job was to document the horrors of pollution! Although my films were factual, it was a classic case of selective editing.

Eventually, I became so disgusted with the fraud, that I left it forever. Today, I am proud to be labeled an Anti-Environmentalist!

Nothing to be proud about. Do you truly desire that our water be toxic where any fish eaten from that water will cause neurological damage? Air that causes lung cancer? It is simple greed that causes chemical companies to bypass EPA regulations in the manner they dump their toxic wastes. It is a matter of survival for not only us, but for our children and grandchildren.

What many polluters fail to consider is that is it THEIR children and grandchildren that will be forced to consume and breath toxins as well as the rest of us. I suppose greed causes madness to the point where they simply don't care...

Too bad pollution isn't ENTIRELY imaginary.

To blow off the entire issue because of some selective fraud instigated by activists is both ignorant and dangerous.

I should know, I live in the DFW metroplex and the air pollution here is hardly imaginary. Estimates about future water demands are hardly unrealistic either. Thousands of landowners in East Texas will be losing their homes and property to make way for a new reservoir to meet future demands in the burgoining DFW.

Of all of Texas, we are the lucky ones. Central Texas is either flooding or dried up. West and South Texas have been dry for years.

You say fake air pollution readings? Noone can dispute what I see and the epidemic of asthma here.
