<<Industrial chemicals are being transported from the industrialized world to the Arctic via air and sea currents. Here, the cocktail of environmental toxins is absorbed by the sea's food chains, of which the polar bear is the top predator.
The accumulated industrial chemicals cause diseases in the polar bears which do not lead to their immediate deaths. On the other hand, the toxins damage the bones and organs of the polar bears, their immune systems and not least their reproductive systems.>> http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201......1709.htm

Interesting how the best minds of our time have become convinced that the major purpose of human civilization should be the husbandry of polar bears . . .
The cited article however is lacking in specifics and refers only to vague generalities. Industrial pollution is good for you. In previous, pre-industrial epochs of world history, and in remote areas of the non-industrial world today, the human life expectancy is 40 years or so. Thanks to environmental "toxins" the industrialized populations enjoy a life expectancy almost double that. |

Woland, there are copious amounts of toxic sludge I am willing to ship to your front door for only a modest shipping charge. Please accept it and consider it my way of saying thank you for all you do.
Yours truly, etc.,

Well, landmark, as Paracelsus said, Alles is gift und nichts is ohn' gift, allein das dosis macht das etwas nicht gift ist . . . so thanks, but no thanks.
