CNN'S Weir Says Coronavirus Claims Virus Came From Deforestion
2020-04-24
[News.Grabien] The EPA and Earth Day were born when the air and water got too foul for everyday Americans to ignore;
...actually, by the time Congress established the first and the murderer established the second, things were already getting better...
50 years later, science is warning that the storms, floods, and fires of the climate crisis are growing too frequent and too severe to ignore.
Actually, significant weather events of all sorts are fewer in number and weaker in total effect these days, but do go on...
Saving what's left will take everyday folk everywhere deciding their planet deserves more than one minor holiday like a dead president, deciding that to save life as we know it, every day should be Earth Day."

WEIR (on camera): "Virologists for years tried to warn us that an invisible enemy would come out of the jungles if we just kept cutting all of them down
Trump's fault?
...not to dampen the fellow’s enthusiasm, but bats come from caves, and influenza comes from domesticated ducks and pigs. Still, Ebola does come from jungle monkeys, so our gentleman is not wholly wrong...
and they were right. So if anything good can come of this, Alisyn, maybe it's an understanding that the climatologists who're warning about the invisible enemy up in our sky and in our seas, maybe we should take them seriously too."
So... are you the FIENDS that bought up all the toilet paper, towels and Kleenex because the masses need to learn to not use trees?

#5  Yes. Yesterday, I drove past was was 500 acres of pasture five years ago, now covered in houses. Trees are good for the air, but roofs and pavement not so good for the water. Progress.

#4  There are more trees west of the Mississippi than when Lewis and Clark went up river. It was a largely a prairie. Now some of that is preserve in its original condition in designated state and federal lands. Get close to nearly any human habitat and you'll see trees, woods, forests.

#3  No mention that the bats live in caves or of Chinese dietary habits. It's da trees!

#1  He had to really dumb it down so Alisyn Camerotta could understand - no big or multi-syllabic words
