The mega-corporations, land developers and the sugar industry don't give a hoot-in-hell about the Everglades' preservation or the perpetuation of that irreplaceable land.
Your post would be maddening if it weren't so laughable to the point of being endearing.
D00d, who do you think WROTE CERP? I've got news for you, it was the big developers (Jeb's buddies), the mega corporations and the sugar industry along with the big enviros. You don't remember them all patting each other on the back? The people you say need to be gone after are exactly who is getting everything they want out of CERP. Are you actually deluded enough to think that politics were put aside for this 8 billion dollar public works project all for the wonderful and altruistic goal of saving the environment?
The "delicate ecosystem" you speak of is a giant BS hyterical scamjob, as is the 8 bil being wasted on the fraudulent "restoration". First of all, this water they're adding to the southblocks is rich with phosphorus and contaminants which is nothing but poison to the Everglades. Second the Glades is one of the most vast expanses of Wilderness on earth, which didn't even exist in it's current state until about 6,000 years ago. Florida itself wasn't here 10,000 years ago.
You do realize that since the takeover of the Everglades by non-interested goverment employees some decades ago, that all vertibrae (large and small) have been literally decimated.....don't you?
Don't just come around speaking in non-applicable platitudes such as the Everglades are "precious treasure". We who live here know this and have a stake in what such matters. This particular project - as is the case with most of the other sixty-some-odd projects involved in CERP - does nothing for the environment whatsoever, not a single person has been able to prove that it will.
Please tell me how adding 6 inches of polluted water to 70,000 acres and restricting nearly all human use restores anything. It restores nothing as you can't a. restore what never was and b. play God.
Even their own scientists are saying this is a giant load of crap. Do me a favor and tell me what area you live in.
Thanks for the flag !
