Sort of like National Review's Vietnam "Pentagon Papers" of 1971; yes, they were a hoax, but they represented actual views, and some of the purported authors actually said they thought they HAD written some of the memos.

The # one car... Water people of the world listen up. The # one carbon trap is phytoplankton. It converts it to sugar and oxygen with the help of sunlight and supplies most of the world's oxygen and is the beginning of the food cycle. Once sequestered the carbon along with its host sinks to the bottom of the sea where it resides until the oil men take it when it becomes energy for our power plants, factories, and cars thus releasing that carbon back into our atmosphere causing global warming. It also becomes plastic and PCBs. NOW the oceans are overwhelmed with plastic and as it decomposes it absorbs PCBs and phytoplankton is ingesting this PCB-laced marine microplastic and is in a 40% decline. The oceans are suffocating and fish are toxic and dying as a result. Atmospheric oxygen levels are also in decline and a few percentage point drop and no science will fix it. It is imminent and irreversible. We have one hope. We must remove every drain and pipe that is entering our water bodies TODAY, but we won't. I fought a twenty-year Federal Lawsuit to do just that and was met head on by government and industry. The CEOs are the new Chiefs of the world, they own the land, air, water, media and governments. They do not win by being brave but by being greedy.horsedraghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265809725828112455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734950473572563387.post-85934711219411517722016-07-25T05:37:59.254+10:002016-07-25T05:37:59.254+10:00While horse manure was a problem, there was no fai...While horse manure was a problem, there was no failed 1898 conference and no Times prediction. America’s First National Conference on City Planning was in Washington, DC, in 1909. Britain’s first urban planning conference was the Town Planning Conference, held in London in October, 1910. <br /><br />“The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894” was invented by Stephen Davies to argue against regulation in Sept, 2004. He invents an 1898 conference, with no name, no dates, and no known attendees, and no citation. It didn’t happen. Search on Google prior to Sep 2004 and you cannot find any predictions of streets buried in manure. The Times prediction didn’t happen, either. Horse manure was a problem, but these myths should not be used to argue against proper planning and management of resources as Davies does.<br />KGarfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344749531372369356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734950473572563387.post-11883337011894077602016-05-06T10:09:08.566+10:002016-05-06T10:09:08.566+10:00The old adage..."Necessity is the mother of i...The old adage..."Necessity is the mother of invention" applies here!

Whales survived because drilled wells produced oil which was refined into kerosene which produced better cheaper light than whale oil.
