    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    If you have established your views on AGW based on what you see and hear on YouTube and the like then so be it. You might also try a bit of empirical scientific research of your own - if so I think you'll find a different conclusion will appear on what is happening and why. This I contend is...

    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    I too spent a lot of my career in heavy industry (not mining), and coming from the NE have seen the impact of opencast mining and gravel extraction. In all cases I have been amazed at the extent to which wildlife can and will accommodate industrial noise and disturbance, and the landscape in all...
