Please if you have the chance try to watch tonight's Vice. They shed the light on the bull shit that BP did in the gulf. I was surprised by some of the stuff they shed light on. The fishing industry has been wrecked. They were also spraying chemicals on the oil that made the harmful stuff in the oil more potent.............

During the Vice show I was wondering if anybody has been upgrading spill recovery methods since the BP disaster. Then they interviewed Frank Pallone who basically said Congress has done nothing. BP says it will continue to do whatever Congress allows. So the answer appears to be nothing has changed.
Unbelievable.

11 Men Died when their criminal negligence chose to save a few dollars rather than provide for the safety and well being of their employees and of the American people and future generations.
Something is very wrong about how this was handled.

(53,952 posts)My partner and I watched this tonight and were horrified at how bad it has become. We already knew it was bad, even after the press left. The birds are also being mutated, many aren't even making it past chick stage.

(53,952 posts)I don't think most people, other than those who have been there or live there, have any idea just how bad it is. The cycle of life has been severely disrupted. They didn't talk about on VICE, but I wonder if the oil will cause the water temps to rise, which will produce more powerful and long lasting hurricanes.

(18,890 posts)Quite a bit. The science is there, but the press is not. It is an ecological disaster we have yet to recognize. The biomagnification has yet to really reach us...we are at the top of the chain... a few years - or less. Our ppm of the chemicals will be stunning.
The species Homo Sapien sapien seems to have put ourselves in Hospice Care - amusing ourselves with electronics, fashion, reality shows, and online porn instead of DOING SOMETHING!!!
