Mercury Contamination Of Fish Warrants Worldwide Public Warning

The health risks posed by mercury contaminated fish is sufficient to warrant issuing a worldwide general warning to the public - especially children and women of childbearing age-to be careful about how much and which fish they eat. That is one of the key findings comprising "The Madison Declaration on Mercury Pollution" published today in a special issue of the international science journal Ambio.

On average, three times more mercury is falling from the sky today than before the Industrial Revolution 200 years ago as a result of the increasing use of mercury and industrial emissions. Little is known about the behavior of mercury in marine ecosystems and methylmercury in marine fish, the ingestion of which is the primary way most people at all levels of society worldwide are exposed to this highly toxic form of mercury.

EPA Inspector General Strongly Criticizes Bush Mercury Plan
Says Rule Fails to Protect Children’s Health

On February 4, The EPA Inspector General released a highly critical report on EPA’s proposed weak standards for mercury emissions from power plants. The Inspector General found that EPA skirted the law in various ways when writing the rule, including “not fully assessing the rule’s impact on children’s health.”

"The EPA Inspector General’s report shows that EPA staff were told to ignore legal requirements in arriving at a predetermined, politically-driven outcome," charges a MaryPIRG official.

Up here in the Northwest there is an alarming amount of areas with dead zones.
They tend to blame it all on global warming and as I do agree of course that there is global warming I personally think their jet chemicals are backfiring and they are putting more blame on the Global warming idea then is true.
I just don't think that it would be quite so abrupt and quick without some help from our flying pals asses up there.
I mean I can FEEL when they are spraying now more than before.
I really think these chemicals are destroying a lot of wildlife such as the BEE die off and BIRD die off,I mean come on people,how can they not be bitching along with us on these jets?
I was dissapointed that on the Discovery Channel program,when the shill from NASA said it was just because there is more jet travel now than before,why they did not ask him that if these are regular passenger jets doing this than why do these jets not show up on flight aware,and charted like all other jets.
That should have been brought up because that is how we know that these jets spewing this toxic mix are our own military,that is why they do not have to show up as visible along with all the other air traffic.
THESE JET TRAILS I REALLY BELIEVE ARE KILLING EVERYTHING!!!!!
Sometimes I feel like the guy in that movie NETWORK,Howard Beale ?I think that was it and I want to "Go to my window and open it up and scream at the top of my voice that I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"
Oh but of course he was a madman,
well they can my ass!!!!!
