I’ve lost track of all the doomsday scenarios I’ve lived through. Honestly, now is one of the best times environmentally-speaking, of my life. Air and water is noticeably cleaner than when I was young, largely because of regulations about vehicle emissions and indiscriminate waste dumping. Eagles and peregrines are back, whitetail deer are nearly at vermin levels. OTOH, gamebirds are struggling, invasive fish are a huge issue, and coyotes are making a big impact in places they never existed before. Some of this is driven by land use and other human activity and some is just natural selection right in front of our eyes. Never a dull moment it seems…….
What never seems to change is all the weasels trying to make a buck off of the problems, real and imaginary, or worse, using them to try and control us and limit our freedom.
