THIS GUY IS A FUCKIN LIAR. When I heard him spew this bullshit about only 3 dolphins collected dead I knew he was wrong. LOOK UP YOUR OWN FACTS. I will copy and paste from OSHA'S statement I found on there website, or just look on the fuckin wikipedia. As of July 29, 3,613 dead animals had been collected, including 3,054 birds, 494 sea turtles, 64 dolphins and other mammals, and 1 reptile. This dude is underplaying it cause you know he has special interests and a book coming out CHECK THE FACTS.
I saw a news video with a man carrying a baby dolphin out of the water, in his arms. and it was still alive and put in a towel or animal stretcher and then the poor dolphin died right on the beach. So In guess this Time magazine journalist is aware of that fact and considers that baby dolphin as one of the 3 dead mammals so there are only 2 other dead mammals to account for. I am sure the journalist went out there and counted them.
the difference between the gulf oil spill and the exxon valdez spill and the reason the valdez was so much more damaging is the fact that the valdez spill was refined oil. the gulf was just crude. naturally occurring and bio degradable. not that big of a deal. since the beginning i have thought that the reason they were keeping people from seeing the shoreline etc. wasnt to hide how bad the spill was but to hide the fact that it wasnt all that bad. false hysteria to pass cap and trade.
@super16g123 That is the dumbest fuckin thing I have ever heard first off every 5 to 7 days the bp oil rig put as much oil into the water as the valdez and i dont know if you past 6th grade put crude oil is NOT biodegradable. NO OIL IS BIODEGRADABLE . You dont even consider the 1.8 million gallons of toxic dispersants used that just break up the oil and make it sink under the water making it harder to clean-up. Dont be fuckin stupid, use some common sense and look up the facts before spewing B.S
@VTxQuInNx420 exactly.....the oil isnt the threat. its the 40 million gallons of dispersant is the threat. how you come to the conclusion that something that comes from the earth isnt bio degradable is beyond me. maybe "crude" was the wrong word. idn but explain to me how something that is manufactured by the earth not bio degradable. show me where the proof of your argument is.
@super16g123 I DONT THINK IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE AS IGNORANT ABOUT A SUBJECT AS YOU ARE. Me I am in school right now as a major in environmental sciences and If you knew anything about oil, or what it was made of you would shut your monkey ass up. Oil also known as petroleum is TOXIC. it has thousands of alkalines I.E(BAttery acid) in the chemistry of it. Oil also has plenty of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide JUST CAUSE IT COMES FROM THE EARTH DOESNT MEAN IT'S NOT TOXIC. Arsenic?, Asbestos?
@super16g123 So next time you go spewing verbal diarrhea and your absolutely wrong assumptions maybe you should LOOK YOUR SHIT UP. Just look on the fuckin wikipedia on oil you dumbass you obviously are not in high school. because you would have taken chemistry and know that plenty of things made by the earth are toxic. Where do you think toxic chemicals come from? fuckin mars? This is why this country is going down the shitter cause dumbasses like you think oil is just going to somehow vanish.
@VTxQuInNx420 lol, i aint been in school in many many moons. but even i remember that when something is alkaline its the opposite of acid you jack ass. keep spewing your bull shit. im done feeding the troll.
eh i didnt think it was a big deal from the start. im glad people are realizing it. im sure a lot of the oil that is out there will be cleaned up by 2011. no biggie- lets get on with our lives =)
Did HuffPost link to this? Because the comments are inundated by people who are determined to be scared by environmental catastrophe. Some people just like it. They like fear. It's like a drug to them.
@dollar12 What are you talking about, I guess ignorance is a drug to you? This is an oil spill that every 5-7 days puts as much oil into the gulf as exxon valdez. This spill has caused 2.5 billion dollars to gulf fisheries. Killed the local tourism. As of July 29, 3,613 dead animals had been collected, including 3,054 birds, 494 sea turtles, 64 dolphins and other mammals, and 1 reptile. THESE ARE FACTS LOOK THEM UP. I know facts are stubborn things, I am sure Limbaugh would agree he hates them.
@VTxQuInNx420 Yes, these things are bad. But it is still better to have oil and a modern lifestyle. I note that environmentalists have resisted onshore drilling for oil as well as nuclear power. Maybe we should just sit in the dim light of candles?
Also, according to a conservative estimate about 1 to 4 times that amount of oil leaks naturally into the oceans each year. Nature has bacteria which deals with. Spills are bad but it's not the end of the world. Stop tripping on the drug of fear.
a nobody reporting "nothing"!!!....RT you just started your new site & already starting to make choices of stories like Fox or CNN...I don't listen to either....this was "crap"!!
this fool is saying MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OIL isnt that harmful to the environment?! ok i guess when i change my cars oil, ill just dump it down into the gutter
Overkill? Are you serious RT Louisiana is wasteland and there dead zones all though out the Gulf not to mention the millions of people who have lost there way of life!! I know RT is an Russian news show but come on!!
That will be because of the dispersant, oil is not toxic. So, was there really the need to use so much dispersant and dispersant that is banned in Europe.
All of that oil + toxic dispersant is deep down making its way over to the Gulf Coast Stream. People like this douchebag are so narrow-minded that they don't think of the vast ecosystems that encompass all levels of ocean depths.
Watch David Attenborough's Blue Planet to understand just how great the danger is to marine life. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
this dudes an ignorant piece of.... give it less than 5 years and youll see the most devastating effects take place... the reason why we can't find any oil is because the 4million gallons of dispersant that was used to help it sink below the surface and break apart but in reality it doesn't just dissolve it will be a factor within that ecosystem for 50 years minimum... the life expectancy of an exxon valdez worker is 50 years old... just think the tens of thousands that helped in the gulf......
Agreed. And I'm still dumbfounded as to how BP was allowed to use a dispersant to essentially sweep the problem up under the doormat if you will.
The idiocy is actually making me feel stupid, stupid that I live on a planet that the best solution is to take large amounts of crude that was otherwise a conglomerate patch of sorts, and break it down with a dispersant to tiny little oil molecules that will eventually sink and/or diffuse throughout the entire worlds oceans.
I don't know what this "data" this Michael Grunwald claims to have seen. In fact, I doubt he saw anything that wasn't preapproved by BP. How many reporters and citizens have been denied access to a public beach by a private company which has no judicial powers? Even CNN's Anderson Cooper was saying he wasn't allowed to see the beaches. So this Grunwald is full of crap.
The spill was not capped. The video of the capped well, had coordinates that were for a well that blew out in January, in the Gulf. The oil is on the ocean floor. The Coreexit concentration in the water is lethal. Don't go in the water. This is just getting started. Time will tell.
@DrAnswersPhD I guess to humiliate him cause they were asking him if the people he was working with were paid by BP which turn out to be true.... and because his article looked interesting....
@DrAnswersPhD Idiot? The guy says he believes in global warming. He's one of you warmies but because he speaks the truth about the Gulf spill you're angry? You're angry that the environment isn't in peril? Let me get this straight: you are mad when someone says it isn't as bad as we feared? You prefer it to be bad? What is with you catastrophists?
I am sick of your global warming cult religion and I'm starting to get mad -- mad at how gullible you all are.
Wasn't the Exxon spill worse? Or the Everglades deforestation?
And these are the same people who said Afghanistan was the longest war. Shiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt. Vietnam, Philippines and some Indian wars were longer.
Ok. Vietnam was 11 years (if not including the advisors and spec forces before the major entry), Phillippenes was 13 years, and the Indian wars were long as hell dragged out incidents some times.
I do not know WHY everyone is saying that. TYT and RT, two great news places, are saying it too. WTH?
