I found on Google maps the island but not seems update.

It’s at the west of Çamli (Tukey).

The pollution that came out of cars is far less than what came out of the horses at the turn of the 20th century. They produced manure that polluted the water, the street and the ground. Even with newer sources of air pollution the air overall is getting cleaner. Go back 60 years ago almost every major city had huge plumes of smog. Since then every major pollutant is down dramatically and water quality has improved dramatically. People still joke about the quality of rivers in cities like the East and Hudson rivers of New York. But the rivers of Manhattan thanks to treatment plants are 98 percent cleaner than 30 years ago. You can now swim in the East river. Plenty of fish in the river too that people eat. Every generation complains that things are getting worse when quite the contrary things are improving in every single objective standard; Health, safety, hygiene, employment, quality, leisure time, recreation.

A survey of climatologists (the folks with actual expertise), about half of them doubted whether global warming was actually taking place, and many of the rest thought that any warming would be quite small so sea level rise is anticipated to be rather negligible. Even so a slight warming would make it easier to grow food on the Canadian prairie or Russian taiga and increase humidity in the Western United States to improve agriculture. It’s well-established that global temperatures rise and fall in cycles lasting hundreds and thousands of years. World temperatures have risen slightly in the last 500 years. Almost all of that increase had took place before the 19th century, before the industrial revolution, the time when fossil fuel burning began to increase rapidly. The world’s best climatologists using the most advanced computers cannot predict temperatures 90 days in the future let alone 90 years in the future.

Our chemical phobia has been touted by environmentalists as a serious threat and that all Americans live in peril. No one ever bothers to point out how chemicals have helped mankind over the years. Why corporations and economic activity are always made to take the blame, I’m not sure. I assume it’s because corporations have money, and are therefore a good target to go after. Did you know there is a chemical in celery called 8-MOP (8-Methoxysauriline) which is carcinogenic in rodent metabolism, and another chemical in broccoli as well but it’s harmless in humans because it’s not the chemical it’s the dosage. That was the problem with DDT, we sprayed too much but it only takes a tiny amount to keep mosquitoes at bay. It’s a very effective and dirt cheap way of preventing malaria, it did cause some harm to birds but the birds have largely recovered. Environmentalists made a lot of hype and after the ban by the 1970′s led to a massive spike in malaria leaving 50-100 million dead, mostly children. After all if it’s “chemical” it must be bad.
