Here are just two of many extreme environmental issues that have been basically swept under the carpet by the anti-intellectual movement in America. These are some of the ongoing issues that are long-term and will have serious consequences for years to come:

First, a four minute video of Dr. Roger Payne on the effects of pollution- specifically the BP oil spill- on whales:

And this, on the Fukushima (you may be tempted to say, "Yeah, but the amounts of radiation found off the west coast of America are so minute," but think about how vast the Pacific Ocean is and move you mind further west toward the east.)

    Fukushima... I don't even like thinking about it!
    The history books will not be kind to this era, the era of economic interest over human needs.
