The nightmare is real... and it's name is ELE.

@WunderMaus ELE? btw, thanks for posting to DU. 

[WunderMaus]

@Plomomedia ELE = extinction level event. There is a story about two mice that fell into a bucket of milk. After struggling for a time one mouse told the other, “It is hopeless, the sides of the can are two tall for us to jump out & sooner or later, the farmer will come & put an end to us”. The mouse gave up & drowned. The other mouse thought, “that may be so, but I am going to keep swimming as long as I have strength.” Swimming became harder as the milk turned to cream and then to butter...

@WunderMaus the other day on On Point (WBUR), a Standford study about heat waves in the near future was being discussed. It was said that it may simply get too hot to go outside. and this is based on models taking into account only what's already in the pipeline. And still we continue to burn...

Great work plomomedia, those were some incredible shots you had in there.

Thanks for the effort!

The Christ is coming to kick ass and take names!

Let's go golfing!

@AnonymousSpin , PRECISELY!!!! And at very least they are guilty of criminal negligence.

In Louisiana residents are fined 4,000 dollars for every gallon of oil they dump. You dump 5 gallons..you pay 20 grand. BP should be held to the same standards.

[AnonymousSpin]

3 Leaks + SeaFloor Fracture BP PR manipulation is smoke and mirrors. They have had the opportunity to put out there twitter feeds "Cap stop leak" "No more oil gushing into the gulf" Its all bullshit and a sham. Take a look at the spins coming from BP (all positive). Such crap. Hey guys, Katrina did 150 Billion in damage and this Gulf Gusher is much much worse, which means BP should be bankrupt. ....

thank you for this

@msampson3d yes, corporate greed.  environmental irresponsibility. this event is worst because it exposes the incompetence and corruption of govt. We already knew companies dont care about the environment as much as they do about money. The govt was supposed to keep a lid on that runaway money-loving policy, but instead it fell to it. Capitalist Democracy is the system governing us, and it has proven incapable.
