I said the effects would be inconsequential in a couple of years due to the extreme weathering from the amount of ultra-violet light and micro-bio critters eating it up. I was correct. Two years after the spill and the effect on fisheries is very low and will be nearly nothing a year from now. The effects on beaches is almost nothing. Within 5 years, you will not be able to find any of the oil on beaches as it will be weathered and eaten by critters to nearly nothing. The only major effect the spill has had is the elimination of oil industry jobs by the Obama admin in response to the spill. Scientists have all been surprised at how fast the oil has dissappeared meaning most of them know nothing of what actually happens in the Gulf. There is still some heavy oil on the botom but even it is rapidly being consummed by oil eating life. The Gulf of Mexico is complately dif from prince William Sound where oil from teh Exxon Valdez is still seen. We have more than 3X the UV flux and the amount of life in the Gulf that eats oil is probably greater by factors of thousands. Much of this life evolved in the presence of natural oil seeps so given the oil spill they ate it up. Don't pat yourself on the back with misinformation. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0...-blood_n_81239... http://oilspill.skytruth.org/ http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/201..._one_year_late... and about a million others. I can explain Google to you, if necessary. One huge logic flaw here. Do they drink seawater? How did it really get in their system? I mean really get there? How does it compare to an auto mechanic? As for Xylene can cause dizziness, headaches, skin irritation, confusion, and a whole slew of other ailments, isn' that the norm for 1/2 the population before BP? Want bad? Look at the plutonium, tritium, uranium that Japan washed to the Pacific Ocean. But since it doesn't sell taxes, green knobs ignore it. I was also reading how in quakes and fishers, often oil spills out naturally. Oil isn't unnatural folks, it isn't like DDT, enriched uranium, great lakes GM chromium and the like, it is out there. Oil sands same thing, been leeching naturally for a million years. Tehy even find bones carbon dating before man. La Brea Tar Pits, right in CA, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Brea_Tar_Pitsandthesky didn't fall. Yes, you're stupid. I think you want to live in the Tar Pits, but alas, they won't let you into the country.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - He has his own Tar Pits in Alberta. Hey, Don, I thought, like Harry you can't stand this place and it's regulars. Why are you here then? I'm expecting Harry's stupid excuse.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm on a mission to clean up this newsgroup and get it back to civility. Why do you come here and do nothing but call names and insult then, Don?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No one said the task would be easy or that I wouldn't get my hands dirty from time to time. The thing to keep in mind is the long range goal....... which seems to keep moving farther& farther away thanks to you and your ilk. So what else have you failed at in life, stupid? -HB http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_831278.html |
