likely toxic? People have been told that the fish in the immediate area aren't safe for consumption. I informed an out of state fisherman this and he went on the offensive. What does a tumor infested fish have to do with Global Warming?
Why this knee jerk, irrational reaction?
 
Because there are people who think that absolutely anything that has to do with saving the environment is part of an evil, communist plot to destroy America. Part of it is the hippies' fault of the 1960's, who although they did do some good towards cleaning up this country, they also gave themselves (and the word "green") a pretty bad rap.

Also, he was probably drunk.
 
It doesn't really but if you want to make a connection it would be that the fish has tumors because of the toxic pollution/chemicals dumped into the water by factories/ mines. The trend factories polluting is causing climate change. People who depend on harming the environment/ animals for a living get really defensive when you take about pollution, extinction, saving the environment etc.
