Love the whining that goes on when logging is happening in old growth forests of Kananaskis but when these old growth forests light up there seems to be astonishment as to how this could happen, must be climate change.
Assuming this whining is being done from houses made of mud.
Seems many also fail to understand the need for world trade. Obviously we need to mine our coal to ship it to China in order for the products made and sold on Amazon to be sent back here.

Seems to be a fair amount of fish caught out of the Elk & it's tributaries with defects blamed on coal mining. So difficult to mitigate the environmental effects once mining starts. Doubly complicated with foreign ownership
