<We have cured the flu, and allowed cancer to spread.> A good double entendre/analogy, since that is what the arsenic, UV rays and mercury will probably cause. Dave

Scumbria, We have cleaned up many visible problems in the last three decades. Heavy metal pollution of the oceans and CO2 are invisible. Overfishing and ozone depletion are invisible. If we don't choke on it immediately, we don't do anything about it. We have cured the flu, and allowed cancer to spread. It sounds like there is still a lot of work ahead of us for the next 3 decades. Lets say heavy metal found in increasing quantities in fish on top of the food chain. I think it is something negative to some degree. If thd sources of the heavy metals entering the oceans can be identified to be man made, it sounds like a good project to start on. It would probably be non-controversial, and with need for funding within reason, so that something tangible can be actually achieved. It's much better do set your target to something achievable and achieve it that the endless fingerpointing. Joe
