"I assure you, such power exists."

You know, I never gave thought to the relationship of human-caused climate change to animal suffering until I read something along those lines a few days ago.

I just do not care that animals will suffer, and are suffering, because of the climate change caused by the excessive number of human beings on this planet Earth.

As someone who has enjoyed the outdoors for a very long time what I do care about is how human beings always turn something beautiful into some ugly.

Seems one cannot go anywhere without seeing the negative impact of the ugly humans on this planet Earth.

Crude oil is flooding Texas rivers

By Xian Chiang-Waren on May 2, 2016

Dramatic, deadly flooding is the new normal for parts of Texas and Louisiana this past year. This weekend, a single flash flood killed six people. But the damage often doesn’t end when the skies are finally clear. In Texas — a state dotted with oil wells — extreme flooding can also mean contaminated water.

According to El Paso Times, chemicals and oil from overfilled wells and fracking sites have flushed into majors rivers. Texas officials have reportedly taken dozens of images of waterways polluted with crude oil and fracking chemicals, which show the “sheens and plumes spreading from tipped tanks and flooded production sites.” Affected waterways include the Sabine River on the Texas-Louisiana border, which flooded in March, and the Trinity, Red, and Colorado rivers, which flooded last year.
