Last Chance

One of the authors of a new report indicating the the oceans are beginning a mass extinction event (the last occurring about 65 million years ago) says that this generation is the last chance to mitigate catastrophic destruction.

The authors of that study are not necessarily experts on pollution and I'm not sure that they are aware of all those sunken ships from previous wars that may be beginning to or will start seeping oil from decaying tanks, nor what the Fukishima effects will be.

Another report stated that 50+ of 65 nuclear power plants in the US have been leaking contaminated waters. We have an emerging tritium problem

While the Big Problem is becoming ever more clear, the Republican agenda remains to cut essential regulations and programs that protect life other than that of human fetuses. There are more unfilled government Department Seats than ever before thanks to the republican opposition of anything Obama touched and their starve the beast madness.

Desperate times call for desperate measures so my hat goes off to James Richard Varone who robbed a bank for one dollar so he could be sent to prison and receive the medical care he desperately needs.
