    Gulf Oil Spill

    Came across this on the oil spill, may be of interest:

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...html?ref=earth

    Latest word is that the damage is done and the rest is dispersing.

    as usual humans under estimate the capacity of mother earth to heal herself...

    im also not convinced global warming has been directly caused by humans ..rather a cycle that the planet is overdue for and perhaps we've simply accelerated it a little...

    Oh no...you're going to upset the drunk bastard and Al Gore!


    It is amazing that it took so long to stop it and the damage is no where near what you'd expect from that much spillage. Although I'm not buying any Gulf Shrimp this summer.

    I agree with Zim we will be the dinosaurs - having siad that we will be the cause but there is a cycle as well - will have to stop the yanks playing baseball so that the earth's wobble is less pronounced

    Of course there is climate change, always has, always will.
