Heard some numbers analysis on local NPR affiliate the other day (& I'm having trouble finding it now) w/ a very different take on what the report means - fellow saying that he read the report to mean that approx. 90% of 'spilled' oil unaccounted for, so the percentage burned off, evaporated etc. is, in reality, quite minute.
They are definitely downplaying the devastation caused by the oil spill. I think the efforts to clean it up compared with its magnitude were paltry at best.
Doctoring images didn't exactly make the problem any less severe.
How much will this cost the taxpayers and the small business owners?
Fortunately for nature, there are microbes in the ocean that eat oil products.
I wonder what impact it will have over time.
These young men deserve to honored as heroes and victims for their steadfast refusal to be inhumane on any level anywhere.
As a Viet Nam Vet... disabled in combat ... these guys should be enshrined in a shrine for Humanists. As with Daniel Ellsberg these men have gone above and beyond the call of duty to up-hold the US Constitution to which they had pledged their life and limb to protect, and defend.
