TO GO WITH STORY BY JOSHUA MELVIN "Climate change stirs ghosts of America's toxic past"
A large catfish lies in a boat after being caught in the Tombigbee River in McIntosh, Alabama on April 12, 2021. - Murky flood waters of Alabama's Tombigbee River rippled over ground tainted with mercury and a pesticide so toxic that US officials outlawed it decades ago, a dangerous past that could cause even more damage with climate change. Hundreds of America's worst polluted places, like a neighboring pair of chemical plant sites on the Tombigbee, are threatened by storms, rising waters, fires and other extreme weather made more intense as the Earth warms. "There might be a whole lot of danger for us," said 59-year-old Darrell Wayne Moss, who lives across the street from the sprawling Olin chemical plant. "It makes you afraid."
