Gulf coast oil spill

[classicman]

Now we are being told that the vast majority of the rest of the oil spilled is evaporating and getting eaten by microbes.
Perhaps I should have resurrected the perverting science thread for this post.


Where are the images of all the oil covered and dead animals on the TV night, after night, after night... like there were with the Valdez spill?

I also noticed that since Anderson Cooper left the area there really hasn't been much "real" coverage on things.

The Valdez spilled heavy crude, in freezing temperatures. Also, it didn't happen a mile beneath the ocean.

Do you honestly believe that there were no pictures to be had in the marshes as the oil made landfall? Where are the nightly images of the oil covered shorelines? Why were there never any rebuttals to those who are there bringing up the issues that were not being addressed?

Please. . . If you look, you can find them, just not on the major networks.

Sorry, no, I wasn't trying to say that at all. When people say that this is the "beginning of the end" of the OIL SPILL, I always think it is the beginning of the end of LIFE ON EARTH perhaps. We've overfished the oceans enough as it is, there are hardly any things left we can eat in there, already. And nobody know, or cares, about pollution running off into the ocean. We know less about the place than we do about the surface of the moon. And it is the CRADLE OF ALL LIFE.
