If this coal mining in Alaska takes place, humans should give up any  
pretense of superiority over other species. --Tom  

PS--I tried to post this to Iowa Topics with the attached pdf of the Sierra 
 Magazine article, but it was kicked back as it contained too many lines. 
Please  read the Sierra article when you get the print copy.

The July/August Sierra magazine is about to appear, and  you may be 
interested in this feature about a serious, major emerging issue for  Alaska -- a 
threat to Alaska's environment--lands, air quality, and more.  

It hasn't been well publicized that Alaska  has between 40 and 50 percent 
of the entire country's coal reserves.
