THE RAPING OF OUR ENVIRONMENT

From the NEW YORK TIMES Nov. 23, 2016 Global warming news.

Exxon Mobil, under fire over its past efforts to undercut climate science, is accusing the Rockefeller family of masterminding a conspiracy against it. The descendants of John D. Rockefeller, who founded the company that became Exxon Mobil, have long backed environmental causes.

Separately, the ecology of the Arctic is being altered on a vast scale because warmer air and less ice has caused algae that form the base of the oceanic food chain to wildly proliferate, according to new research.

The changes are likely to have a profound impact on birds, seals, polar bears and whales. My take : The rape of our environment takes place daily, sometimes very covertly, sometimes very open, but it always, always involves greed ! ED
