STRBE Re...I think you should be reading up on some things before you make statements you cant back up.. the arctic is a very sensitive area.. due to the type of climate and such.. it would not recover as easily as some: there are studies out there that say if the native flora up therre gets destroyed from something - be it oil spills or other forms of pollution or environemntal disturbance.. it will take a millenia for that to recover <<< What is different between the hype about all of the damage the original Alaskan pipeline would cause and what the extensions up to Anwar would cause. Probably none; because Anwar lies just north of Prudoe Bay. And I would assume that all of the scare tactics being tossed about 30 yrs ago about the permafrost were false, because your report yesterday didn't even mention damage to permafrost. So why keep on repeating the old scare tactics when they weren't true then and are just as unlikely to be true now. Read this from your Time article. "I'm getting more people wanting ANWR trips each year," said Bob Dittrick of Anchorage, our chief guide. "They want to see it before it's developed. But even so, we're not talking about a ton of people." Dittrick was — and still is — one of a dozen outfitters who lead ANWR trips, each of them bringing perhaps 50 visitors to the refuge per year. << Are you really trying to say that oilmen drilling behind a fenced in area making a constant noise will disturb the caribou herd from breeding, but all of those planes buzzing overhead won't? If you really believed what you are saying, shouldn't you keep all of the planes and visitors from bothering the herd. First of all, the -planes can bother the herds any day of the yr. The oil drilling will only bother them during the time the caribou are within earshot of the wells. The planes can fly anywhere bothering the herds to get pictures or bring in hunters. Why is it that when you make statements like this This of course is in addition to the caribou herds being upset by the presence of man and the possible declines of those herds due to that.; that the word man seems to mean only oilman, not all men. Where is your moral outrage there?
