Re: Interesting articles on global warming

So liberals have an agenda, so our opinions are junk, but conservatives have the answers and it's not an agenda? Nice the way that works. We are messing up the planet, sir. Have you seen the plastic junk in the oceans? Have you ever taken the time to research the number of coal plants in China? Chec...

Re: Interesting articlcaes on global warming

I would love to continue this discussion but have better things to do than point out the obvious. If you can believe that a volcano erupting can change the climate but find it impossible to believe that coal plants and cars can't do the same, albeit on at a more gradual rate, this debate is not one ...

Re: Interesting articles on global warming

Dr. Jeff Chanton. I'll send you his materials so you can tell me why you know more than he does after he conducted a few decades of research in the field, including watching the permafrost melt, than you know after a few hours of research on the internet.

Re: Interesting articles on global warming

Alright, so let's all agree that we did not evolve from apes and should not drive electric cars. And we need to stay away from JT's super secret spots. Let's all also agree, I hope, that the planet has warmed and cooled numerous times long before we were born. The question here is whether we are cur...

Re: Interesting articles on global warming

My neighbor and friend is a Professor at FSU. He has spent much of his career studying this issue. I'm going to trust his conclusions rather than those on the news or the internet. And his conclusions suggest to me that my F-150 is not helping things. We are ruining our planet. "Tragedy of the ...

Re: Pompano ??

You want to cast in the four foot area between the first and second bars on a low or falling tide. You will likely catch a trout or two fishing there, sometimes a red but that is certainly where the pompano seem to be. High tide is a tougher call, the front of the first bar on a good one is best unl...

Re: That ski boat may be FWC

FFWCC likely got that boat as part of a forfeiture. I was fishing the mouth of the East River a few years ago when a fellow in a beat up 13.5 foot Whaler, interior painted black with a cooler and fishing poles in it, approached me. Came right up to the boat and told me he was an officer and asked to...

Re: Where have all the oysters gone?

" If we humans destroy the environment, so be it."

Wow. So God created the Earth and we are allowed to destroy His work instead of being stewards of the bounty? Maybe I need to drink some more of this Kool-Aid.

Caught them above the power plant just past Shields the other weekend. Needed to find a deep hole but there they were.

Re: Where have all the oysters gone?

The use of ethanol was pushed by GOP representatives in the Midwest through the 1990s and gained local momentum swinging from west to east of the USA. A Democrat Congress passed the law and it was signed by President Bush, a well-known knee jerk liberal, as part of the Energy Independence and Securi...

Re: Caterer For Family Reunion?

Call Judy at Tastebudz in Tallahassee. She doesn't cater up that way but likely knows someone who does.

Re: Where have all the oysters gone?

Kind people, for the record, I am not an extremist. I fish, hunt, own two boats, a big F-150 4X4 (although I normally drive my Subaru except when towing one of the boats or hauling something else, so throw that stone at me), grow a ton of organic vegetables in my front garden and citrus in the side ...

Re: Where have all the oysters gone?

So if I trash the earth, God will fix it. Hmmm, so if I throw trash on my lawn will He pick it up? If we keep circling Wakulla Springs with septic tanks, will He remove the hydrilla? And I do not have all the answers. That's the human condition. But we still try. You know, it occurs to me that there...

Re: Where have all the oysters gone?

Oh, that is so rich. Show me the facts and not an emoticon. The data exist and are indisputable. It's not kool aid. It's not emoticons. It's reality. You have something to prove me wrong?

Re: Where have all the oysters gone?

And what about my attitude is it, sir? Is it simply that I voice beliefs that differ from yours? Is it that I conclude, based on sound data, that we as a society have caused and continue to cause great harm to our ecosystems? Point out one thing I have said that is incorrect based on the facts.
