The pity is,there is no unpolitical research.All the studies are done with an agenda,by both sides,so for an average person to learn the real truth..that's impossible.

Agree with this completely.

As you say, I'm about the same age and not trying to make a political statement either.

Shark teeth have been found just 10 minutes east of Jackson, Mississippi.

Did global warming have anything to do with Mississippi being under water?

I miss seeing the millions of ducks and geese at The Wheeler Wildlife Refuge like we use to see. The sky would be covered with them,now,not very much.They will never be back.

Pretty sure this was caused by DDT dumping in the river.

There is nothing wrong though,with us all trying to lower our impact where practical...just in case.

Waterfowl numbers are way up with most species being far beyond their environment's carrying capacity. I read recently where mallards are up about 50% over their carrying capacity and Blue Wing Teal, of all things, are like 600% over theirs (BWT are migrating later and later due to warmer falls....thus most states BWT seasons are missing the largest part of the migration....we used to never see BWT in Georgia during the regular duck season...now they are fairly common because they are migrating later and later).

If anyone doubts any of this take a look at conservation snow goose seasons....we are on the brink of a total disaster in snow goose populations because they are 1000's of times over their carrying capacity. It is so bad that spring hunting is allowed with no limits, no plugged shotguns and electronic callers....and we (hunters) are still not making a dent in the numbers....and the things are destroying grain fields wherever they are...it is only a matter of time before they die off by the millions due to some sort of disease but in the meantime they are reducing the amount of grain produced for years due to their destruction of grain fields. It is getting so bad that even the NWR system is considering spring hunting ON THE REFUGE!!!!

The ducks and geese are still here....they just aren't making it North Alabama because there is enough food and not enough ice in the midwest to keep them from coming that far south. People used to kill snow geese in South Georgia and Florida...now very few ever make it that far south because the cheseapeake bay area never gets cold enough AND there is plenty of grain left in the fields...

But let's not neglect real environmental stewardship by giving govt. our tax dollars and power to take control over our economy.

The govt. has a large role to play, but as we have all seen, it will go way overboard.

It was caused by organizations like Ducks Unlimited creating large sanctuaries up north that they keep thawed out by pumping warm water in the water. The birds stay up there
