One of my college professors was a former Exxon geologist, who worked at Prudhoe Bay, AK. He said they knew all about what the fossil fuel industry was doing to the environment.
He taught a planetary climate history class, and it was pretty interesting. He also brought in some of his crude oil samples (stinky stuff) and some mammoth teeth discovered while exploring new areas to drill. | [

From article:
Three wildlife conservation groups are adding $10,000 to a reward for certain information about an Oregon wolf killed illegally last fall in Klamath County.
The Center for Biological Diversity, Oregon Wild and Cascadia Wildlands today announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction for the illegal killing of a collared male grey wolf in Klamath County. | [] |

I am reassured when there are good people in the world doing things like this. We are in the middle of a culture war. It's important to fight back. The increased reward may make all the difference. | [
