3/03/2008 9:57 pm - Of Geologists, Paleontologists, And Science in the National Park System : Anonymous#2 wrote " Fund NPS and you won't have any of these problems." While we're at it, let's also ask for peace in the Middle East and an end to world hunger. We can get an increase in funding but the NPS will never be fully funded any more than ...
3/03/2008 4:46 pm - Of Geologists, Paleontologists, And Science in the National Park System : Adequate funding is undeniably important, but money that comes tied to a political agenda can just mask the problems. If they give you money to spend on science and tell you have to spend it on A when what you really need is B, it's as bad as if you ...
3/03/2008 10:26 am - Of Geologists, Paleontologists, And Science in the National Park System : Why couldn't people be hired in the future? It's obvious that this is all about the individuals and not the positions.
2/25/2008 11:24 pm - National Park Visitation Debate -- Here We Go Again : One of the ironies in all of this is that when visitation is high the cry goes up that the parks are being loved to death. And when visitation drops it changes to how can we get the numbers up.
2/25/2008 10:56 pm - Bush Administration Plan to Remove Wolf Protections Draws Criticism : Does the recovery plan set a time period after which a population is considered self-sustaining? How does the plan address the possibility of die offs due to severe winters, fires etc. ?
2/25/2008 10:44 pm - Rangers Association Points Out Flaws In Secretary Kempthorne's Weapons Logic : If we have a problem of too little protection from crime in National Parks, the better solution is to fund more law enforcement rangers. Has Kempthorne even suggested doing this?
2/25/2008 10:34 pm - Critics: Changing Gun Laws in National Parks Would Open a "Pandora's Box" of Problems : The National Parks are already the only places I feel safe hiking during hunting seasons. Now that won't be safe either.
2/25/2008 10:28 pm - Clinton, McCain, Obama Answer Questions on National Parks : I like Obama's committment to listen to scientific advisers and to addressing the funding shortfall of the NPS. I hope he follows through.
2/25/2008 10:18 am - Dinosaur National Monument: Paleo's Not The Only Responsibility : So now the NPCA is a dupe of the NPS? The NPCA is independent, sometimes it supports the NPS, sometimes it opposes it. Sounds like you can’t tolerate any other point of view.
2/24/2008 3:56 pm - Dinosaur National Monument: Paleo's Not The Only Responsibility : This paints quite a different picture of the situation than the other articles did. It sounds like a reasonable approach under the circumstances. Instead of trying to do more with less they're really doing a lot more with a little more money. There is no stronger advocate for the National ...
