Good point
It’s tragic that hundreds of ducks have been killed because of improper measures taken by Syncrude to implement measures to prevent the avians from landing in a tailings pond near Fort McMurray, Alberta.
At the same time, Kate raises a valid point:
Got to hand it to those environmentalists - they have the media well trained. A few hundred ducks expire in a Syncrude tailings pond and it’s international news. The tens of thousands sliced and diced each year (in the US alone) by wind generators? Not so much.
It’s sad how so much of almost everything these days is not driven by any kind of objectivity, but by narrative alone. And don’t get me wrong, narrative is all well and good…if one is writing fiction. When one is attempting to convey the news or discuss real-world issues, though? Not so much.
