I can't believe the leaking oil well has not been capped yet. That is incredible. 100,000 barrels of oil a day is still pouring into the ocean for the worst oil spill in recorded history. This isn't just a huge oil tanker that sank.
This is an oil well that is still pouring oil into the ocean as we speak. This satellite photo of the area was taken back on June 10th. That was 14 days ago. Another 1.4 million barrels of oil have added to that slick with no end in sight.
Can you imagine what it's like for all the fish and sea life in that area? We get most of our oxygen from the ocean not the forests. This spill is killing all those plants and sea life that create oxygen. The ramifications of this spill are unprecedented. The only saving grace is the fact that oil floats and eventually floats to the surface. Still the ecological ramifications are mind boggling.
"The Natural Gas doesn't just bubble to the top of the ocean and release into the air. It is absorbed into the water, like air is absorbed, and actually creates oxygen depletion. Hence, the emission of natural gas of these volumes into the sea is producing a significant area of Oxygen depleted water in the Gulf of Mexico which may be very large threat to fisheries and other wildlife in the area. "
The new concern. is methane gas. Methane gas is a real problem. This leak is “the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history,” Methane gas can kill all life in the Gulf of Mexico. It suffocates the ocean and in turn suffocates us.
Dead zones in the ocean have been a concern since the /70's. In 2004 there were 150 dead zones reported which expanded to 405 dead zones in 2007. Back then a study warned "We could end up with no crabs, no shrimp, no fish." In 2009 we see the oceanic dead zones continue to grow. This was before the worst oil spill in recorded history.
Blame Obama? WTF? BP contracted out Dick Cheney's Halliburton. That would be connected to Bush not Obama. Obama imposes a 6 month ban on off shore drilling in the area and the courts overturn that ban. WTF? The Constitution has just become meaningless. A court judge over ruled a democratic law? The courts are created to uphold the law not help big corporations violate the law. This is insane.
This is a real life example validating our fears of NAFTA, TILMA and the NAU. Free trade is fine but why sign a contract making it illegal for any level of government, federal, provincial or municipal, to create a law that will interfere with a corporation's ability to make a profit? That is insane but that is what's happening and we just saw it implemented.
Last year I used the example of pesticide companies suing the Ontario government through NAFTA for protecting the environment and banning certain pesticides. This is another example of the fears becoming reality. Taking away a democratic society's right to create laws that protect the environment, employees or citizen's human rights is just plain wrong.
This is the direction the G 20 is heading. My kid's high school recently had a forum for earth day and showed a youtube video stating that several corporations have more money than world nations. Indeed the corporation is the new beats rising from the (now dead) ocean.
Oh right. While the planet and the Constitution is being gang raped by the oil companies and the big corporations what hits the biased news broadcasts? Not another false flag attack on times Square with a toy clock. Not a hunter going fishing with gas cans and a cross bow but All Gore's sex life.
Who the f*ck cares about Al Gore's sex life? I think those accusations are false. The rumor was started by the National enquirer and the other papers are just quoting it. After all you used election fraud to steal the election from him. Why not pay the Enquirer to slander him. Shame on fraud.
