Oil Spill Daily

ECU research reveals impact from 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill

researchers found that crude oil from the spill entered the food chain through the tiniest of organisms, zooplankton, which forms the base of the food chain in marine ecosystems.

From the Journal of Science: "Bacteria that attacked the plumes of oil and gas from the Deepwater Horizon gusher in the Gulf of Mexico mainly digested natural gas spewing from the wellhead — propane, ethane and butane — rather than oil, according to a study published in the journal Science."

When the Deepwater Horizon exploded in 2010, sending millions of barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, most scientists were concerned about the damage to sea life. Not many gave a whiff of thought to air quality.

Why we call

Uploaded by DistressHelpline on Mar 12, 2012

The April 2010 BP/Deepwater Horizon explosion & oil spill was one of the largest man-made disasters in U.S. history. Almost two years later, individuals and families living and working along the Gulf are still suffering distress related to the economic fallout of the disaster- like depression, overwhelming feelings of anxiety, or even substance abuse.

Shale-Shocked: Hydraulic Fracking Turns Into a Curse

The gas industry describes fracking fluids as containing ingredients like soap and oil. However, because recipes are highly guarded secrets, the public never knows what is in them until an accident happens. Samples from some spills have revealed that the fluids contain more than 200 different chemicals, many of which have been linked to cancer and birth defects. USA Today reports that municipal waste water systems can’t handle the chemicals in the waste water, which can contain radioactive elements.

America’s groundwater is so precious that President Obama supposedly cancelled the proposed Transcanada pipeline because it transversed the important Ogallala water aquifer. The risk of contamination was just too great, he said. There are thousands of pipelines already dissecting it, but one more is one too many.

Yet with hydraulic fracking, America is not only purposefully polluting huge amounts of water to frack rock formations, but it is then purposefully disposing the wastewater by pumping it back down other wells—and potentially into contact with groundwater aquifers. And once groundwater gets polluted, it can take generations to clean it up.

When a scientist who has no dog in the hunt, i.e., isn't benefitting from gov't or private grants, or as in the case of Al Gore, making $$$ off his claims, THEN I might take so-called manmade global warming seriously--until then, I'll stick with my meteorologist son-in-law's well-researched AND well-balanced conclusion that it's nothing more than a cycle that has been going around for who knows how many centuries. His professors at Creighton U., laughed when asked the question of whether man is causing weather change, saying that as long as there's $$$ to be made with the claim, it'll continue to be imposed on any gullible politician or person that can use it to either their advantage or their peril--as in high prices for electricity, gas, etc. The reason the weather guys don't toe the politically correct enviro line is because THEY KNOW BETTER!

Why Do Meteorologists Dismiss Climate Change Science?

turtlehurricane

Clouds, biological life, the thermohaline circulation, ice and snow cover, man, and climate scale weather phenomena like ENSO interact in nonlinear ways. If you change one of those things (such as carbon dioxide emissions), the result will be a nonlinear interaction between all of those things.

Alot of AMS papers talk about such climate nonlinearity.

Monsanto Whistleblower Says Genetically Engineered Crops May Cause Disease

Supreme Court Likely to Endorse Obama's War on Whistleblowers

“Everything that Richard Nixon did to me, for which he faced impeachment and prosecution, which led to his resignation, is now legal under the Patriot Act, the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] amendment act, the National Defense Authorization Act”

You cannot have a meaningful democracy where the public only has authorized disclosures from the government. If they [officials] get control, if they can prosecute anybody who violates that, you are kidding yourself if you think you have any kind of democratic control over foreign policy, national security and homeland security. We don’t have a democracy now in foreign affairs and national security. We have a monarchy tempered by leaks. Cut off the leaks and we don’t even have that.

But in the end, after 25 years spent as a NASA rocket scientist and a commercial airline pilot, Schumaker has ended up saving more animals than she ever thought possible. She is the founder and director of On Wings of Care, an organization dedicated to saving animals great and small, from feral cats to humpback whales. During the BP oil spill, Schumaker and a Cessna airplane she calls Bessie acted as the eyes in the sky for teams of federal scientists tracking everything from oil to sea turtles, whale sharks, dolphins and oiled birds. She describes the 300 hours spent flying over the Gulf as bittersweet, a mix of magic moments following cavorting pilot whales and wretched hours following huge plumes of oil that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Since the nuclear crisis began unfolding at Japan's Fukushima plant a year ago, nothing has changed to make the U.S. nuclear industry any safer -- and the natural disaster-prone South remains especially vulnerable.

As an ongoing case involving the parent company of Houston-based Shell Oil illustrates, conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court appear to want to put an end to the Alien Tort Claims Act, a key tool for holding corporations accountable for human rights violations.

Interview by James Corbett for GRTV. Joining us to discuss the legacy of Fukushima is Helen Caldicott, a physician, author and radio host who has spoken out for decades about the deadly effects of nuclear radiation.
