I heard a rush rant that said buffalo produced as much greenhouse gasses as the coal industry... So when whitey killed them all, it was "green" OR greenhouse gasses dont matter. Either/or.

The EPA needs to tell the beavers to install methane scrubbers on their existing ponds and submit all future dam projects to them for approval. The submissions must include an environmental impact study.

Death to all beavers. There is only one solution, wipe them out. Not to study, not to bring back, but to wipe them out

FYI...it's climate change. Global warming no longer fits the narrative.

Farts, termites, and rice fields account for 54% of atmospheric methane.

Pretty amazing story on beavers and their handiwork.

1868 Map Shows That Beavers Truly Are Nature’s Best Builders

The map is the work of Lewis Henry Morgan, a railroad lawyer who also worked as an independent anthropologist and biologist. According to Atlas Obscura, Morgan first traveled to Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the late 1850s for his railroad work and started studying the beavers in what is now the city of Ishpeming, about 15 miles from Lake Superior. The resulting book, 1868’s The American Beaver and His Works, had a fold-out map that included 64 beaver dams and their ponds.

It was Carol Johnston of South Dakota State University who realized the value in Morgan’s maps to modern ecologists. She created an updated version using aerial photos and compared the two, discovering that about 72 percent of the dams and ponds still exist. Only 18 of the spots disappeared in that time (some as a result of human interference), and at least one pond was actually bigger than it was on Morgan’s map. The study was published in Wetlands last year.

Whatever. I grew up hunting fishing canoeing skiing water and snow hiking swimming. Wisconsin, the U.P., Northwest Michigan. Parents were teachers so was I. I have a business now where I can still take two months in the summer. Travel. See Colorado Maine Arizona California. Camp hike fuck around. Did as a kid. Do now. I'm 54. Born in the height of American "I don't give a fuck pollution, drug use environmental abuse.

You can argue hoax all you want. But it's different. Weather events are more severe, heat and cold. Rain is harder or not at all. Streams and rivers are different, less life like, Great Lakes are fucked up. Less fish. Ski seasons are different. Shit is fucking different. It just is. Trees seem smaller harder to grow shit. Less tadpoles and Lilly pads. Shitier flowers less bees more shitty bugs and crappy disease

Here's the deal. I'm not blaming man. Do t know if it's us or nature changing over time. But don't anybody tell me it's not different. It is. Oh, and I don't give a fuck either. I got 20-25 years left. Tops. If someone has an answer I'll help and try. If we as a human race say fuck it, ok fuck it. Won't effect me at all I'm dead.

But don't tell me it's not different.

Was the Medieval Warm Period caused by humans? It was warmer then.

It's all verbal jiu jitsu. It was global warming until the warming paused, then it became "climate change". How can it be argued that the climate isn't changing? The climate is and always has been changing. In the 70s the big deal was the coming ice age.

And the same people telling us to be petrified of warming live on the sea coasts, fly private jets and live their entire lives in A/C. Where are they leading other than with their mouths?

I've never understood the point of your argument. I mean, I think all of us can start out by saying that were not expert climatologists... So, you're arguing that you don't want less pollution and a cleaner environment. Why? What for exactly? Like, even if you're right, which you aren't, what goal do you hope to achieve? Do you really want the Au Sable to be chemical filled shit water? Is that it? And that's not even mentioning that with your total lack of credentials (and mine as well) the "what if you're wrong" question.
