California, which is in a state of perpetually self-inflicted drought, restricts all sorts of practical water solutions (because) they would hurt some living creature somewhere. (People, especially farmers, don’t count.) And along the way the state decided to demolish a dam to help some salmon. (snip)
$500 million was spent to make California a worse place. For human beings. And for salmon too.
Hundreds of thousands of young salmon are believed to have died this week at the site of a historic dam removal project on the Klamath River, after an effort to restore salmon runs on the newly unconstrained river went awry, the Chronicle has learned.

Big deal. They also demolished the border and now they're killing their own people, and not just salmon.

The IQ of communists is off the charts. They really do destroy EVERYTHING they touch.
Can anyone provide an example to the contrary?

All part of the plan: salmon are food. Less food=more starvation=fewer people=happy ecofascists.

There is no proof the salmon died. Also these were hatchery fish, real salmon have been running the unconstrained river for millions of years and wouldn't have even noticed. Wild breed fish are the result of the very few fish (maybe 1%) that made it up the river past all the bears, water falls etc whereas hatchery fish are breed from a random sampling of a few fish before they made the run up the river so they are not the best and fittest. This story is just propaganda paid for by big money interests.

Econazis are destroying the world while they fraudulently claim to be "saving the planet".
Their damned windmills slaughter birds by the thousands.
Their solar panels block out square miles so that nothing grows under them, and takes millions of gallons of water in desert climates to clean off the dust.
And now they blow up these valuable dams, which provide flood control, drinking and irrigation water and lots of recreation.....to "save the salmon".....but instead they kill the salmon.

Even Cuba does not want any influx of US Liberals relocating to their Island because they know that will utterly destroy that country. Count it!

hair gel hitler departs from his brief to desolate all life in ca, in order to exterminate innocent baby salmon.
iirc, nazipelousy had to sacrifice much for the vote fraud she needed to get this greasy gangsta into the
governor's chair.

there's a new thought resolve happening in California these days, known as do it now and the Hell with the future
- why do the people of California keep re-electing these airheads to continuous office placement or
- is/has the art of election fraud been honed, in California, to the finest point not achieved by the East Coast communists?

Re #14, the turbidity (silt levels) of the water has been running 10 to 20 times the level that juvenile salmon can survive in. Claims that "we don't know that the fish died" is at best, seriously uninformed, and in the face of facts, ridiculous.
It's impossible to know whether this indicates a desire to disinform, or an ignorant open mind.
