Endangered

Last licks perhaps? I'm not really sure why they would do this but here it is:
"New regulations, which don't require the approval of Congress, would reduce the mandatory, independent reviews government scientists have been performing for 35 years, according to a draft obtained by The Associated Press."

"Under current law, federal agencies must consult with experts at the Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service to determine whether a project is likely to jeopardize any endangered species or to damage habitat, even if no harm seems likely. This initial review usually results in accommodations that better protect the 1,353 animals and plants in the U.S. listed as threatened or endangered and determines whether a more formal analysis is warranted."




Decline in species diversity should concern you. This game that is currently being played on the world stage is deceptive and divisive. Climate change is important - but pollution and big agriculture needs to be the focus. Ignore the greater crisis to fight the medias baby battle and be marginalized.
