Good and Bad News on the Environment

There is some good news and not so good news on the Environment.

1) An appeals court rejected a proposed pipeline in the southeastern part of the country because it did not pay attention to the environmental reports that advised hazards with creating the plant. That is good news.

2) The E.P.A. under E.P.A. anti environment Tsar Scott Pruitt is developing policies in secret and with a "kitchen cabinet" of like minded individuals from the political and energy sector. That is bad news,

3) The President is considering recommendations to shrink or eliminate 21 National Monuments so these parks can be pillaged for their resources. More bad news.

4) The Permafrost in Alaska is starting to show signs of Thawing. REALLY BAD NEWS.

This is not some science fiction movie. This is reality and we need to continue to pay heed and fight wrong headed policies that make our world more dangerous for all life.
