Global Warming- yes, I believe!!!

[Fish on Line]

In 1958 there was flooding on the Ouachita river where the water was going over the Levee just south of the Paper mill - RR tracks crossed there and sandbags was the only thing that kept it from having a Washout .. they later closed that line and removed the tracks .. some of the best fishing I ever had in my life was in a ditch by the road -- we did not know there was any such thing as a limit .. use to have photos in my Moms Photos with us 3 Kids holding 5 -- 6 ft long stringers of fish. each stringer would hold 100 or more Bream

I don't agree with global warming in the Al Gore sense of the word. But.... Go stand on a piece of asphalt barefooted where green grass used to be and you will know we are getting hotter.

If the weather, work, the fish, the cost of gas, the cost of fishing gear, the cost of minnows, my boat, people at the boat ramp, etc. doesn't improve I'm going to take up golfing. Just kidding. You know me, I'll die with a fishing pole in my hand. I agree with you it's been an unusual spring.

When the world population gets over populated, Mother Nature will take care of it. That's if we don't beat her to it.

I too don't believe in climate change in the Al Gore sense of climate change. The United States is among the leaders in the world against pollution and for all sorts of environmental safeguards... as we should be. I believe that climate is cyclical in nature and that the world has certain adjustments it makes to attempt to adjust to man-made problems such as deforestation and pollution that perhaps (even) tend to cause a state of constant adjustment and (perhaps) even to more sudden and/or intense weather phenomena. I think that our government's approach to climate change and pollution (however) should begin with placing stricter influence/controls over deforestation in all countries and stricter controls primarily over those countries who to this day still dump their garbage in the oceans and (apparently) have no oversight or regulations as to how much pollution they dump into the atmosphere.

This is a very good thread topic. Surely we should all be better stewards of the environment.
