CLIMATE: Can’t agree with fatalism

| July 15, 2026 1:00 AM

Barry McElmurry has a fatalist’s view of Earth and our existence on a planet we are deliberately and knowingly killing. We do a particularly good job in North Idaho with a preponderance of fossil fuel burning trucks. Why bother with Superfund clean up of Silver Valley mine tailings with that attitude? Cancer is ugly but what the heck!

Climate change is real, but when we defund weather observation, marine and water health statistics, ignore warming of water and atmosphere and wildlife die off counts, then we are supporting the accelerated death of the Earth.
