I Love Rivers

The Delaware River was once a cesspool. Then the big bad Nixon passed the Clean Water Act and the Delaware became clean. But recently we see that

"...climate change presents a number of issues. Increased temperatures mean longer summers, and rivers that are expected to stay warmer. Rising sea levels mean the salt line could move further upstream in the Delaware River. And scientists have already seen an impact on wind speed, which is decreasing.

Danielle Kreeger is an ecologist and senior scientist with the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary. Kreeger says these are all cause for concern.

“Despite improvements because of the Clean Water Act to treat sewage and wastewater, we still are not done,” said Kreeger. “And these animals, which we’ve seen come back, like Shad, they’re still vulnerable to losses of oxygen in the future if we let our guard down.” (Susan Phillips, 1/15/19, Whyy magazine)

So I ask out: What is this current President going to do to kill this river...again?

Will we just stand by and let it happen?
