How are we supposed to save the environment...

...when the environment is the worst polluter?

Mount St. Helens Is State's Top Polluter

Associated Press

SEATTLE - Washington state's top polluter isn't a pulp mill, a power plant or refinery. It's the newly awakened Mount St. Helens.

Since the volcano began erupting in early October, it has been pumping out 50 to 250 tons a day of sulfur dioxide, the lung-stinging gas that causes acid rain and contributes to haze. At peak, that's more than double the amount from all the state's industries combined.

Normally, the state's No. 1 polluter is a coal-fired power plant owned by the Canadian firm TransAlta. The plant churned out 200 tons a day of sulfur dioxide until regulators demanded $250 million worth of renovations, bringing the level down to 27 tons a day.

Mount Saint Helens works for the Bush administration.

Fucking hell. An area the size of Florida gets mowed down every year in rainforests across the world.

I have heard so many versions of that statistic.

But the area in square km, football pitches, a percentage of the size of texas, hectares... whatever, it still means the same amount of land is destroyed.

The size of Florida is about the size of Denmark, Belgium and Holland combined.

don't worry, soon the loss of oxygen producing trees will cause a reduction in oxygen in the atmosphere and all humans will die, then nature can get back to being nature.

Naah, that won't happen. We would die from an ice age, nuclear war or starvation before that.

You'll just have to get used to buying air.

Finally we'll get away from hat horrible communist idea of air for all.

Just thinking of all the opportunities for free business it will provide how can anybody be opposed to this great development?
