Let's see what Maritsa has to say about you being right and not wrong.
Can "static kill" methods bring back the lives of the 11 who died in the explosion?
By the way, given the enormous impact of this spill, "amost three quarters" is far from being enough.

The Daily Mail had a similar article about the oil disappearing faster than forecasted by the sensationalist hype.
Was Tony Hayward right about BP oil spill after all | Mail Online
Then a few days later, CNN comes up with a story saying some vague shit about a congressional subcommitte chiding BP for using excessive amounts of oil dispersants lol...
1 quarter left is still 5 exon valdez spills. The oil coming on shore would definitely fuck up the beaches all along the coast. I've been to those beaches and I like them. So I'd say it matters and it's not completely over with.
It's one quarter left SO FAR. The rest of it is still being cleaned up, still breaking down in the water.
This is pretty troubling. I hope they can fix it:
U.S. Says 74% of Spilled BP Oil Eliminated From Gulf - BusinessWeek“An enormous amount of the oil is now buried, and we know from previous spills that this buried material can persist for decades,” MacDonald said. “And that oil does have an effect on the behavior and health of the animals.”
I was right too, I made money off BP already, but I'm now off to better places.
doesn't it affect the ecosystem if a millions of gallons of oil are being dissolved into the gulf of mexico waters.... I mean just because its out of sight doesn't mean its still not a problem.... obviously you can dissolve salt in water, and while the water appears clear... it still tastes nasty and salty....
No! I said it before you did. I am correct

Ugh, I know exactly what you mean. I don't bother debating the issue of anthropogenic global warming anymore. I simply explain to people that over the course of Earth's geological history, there has never been a moment of peace and that we humans live far too short of lives to experience it for ourselves. I usually like to conclude with something profound about mankind's arrogance in thinking we have such influence over nature as to alter her course so dramatically, whether intentionally or unintentionally. We simply have to adapt or give way to the process of evolution.
I don't think global warming is real or at least not a short-term issue, but there are other reasons to have limits on pollution.
It's not like Global warming being a scam = Let's pump more stuff into the air. The detractors like this issue because they seem to think that this gives them free reign to shit on the world.
People who focus on this issue too much tend to annoy me, doomsday shrills and detractors alike.
*Remember, I said what discojoe said first*
That's right.... I said it before YOU did!
Therefore any bonus points you give to discojoe for this, you should give them to ME.

You both get bonus points. Unfortunately they can only be cashed in on this website, and we don't have that many good prizes for you.
Has anyone in this thread appeared to give DJ any points?

Looks like the white house may have fabricated those numbers. The spill is only 50% cleaned up.

This is also interesting:
It seems like the oil can get get broken down into more toxic compounds that can't be easily cleaned up."Even if there is not a drop of oil out there, and it had truly magically vanished, it would still be an environmental disaster caused by the toxic shock of the release of 5m barrels of oil."
Right now we are in the midst of the hottest summer and probably year in historical record, following decades of steadily rising temperatures, currently just out of a solar MINIMUM, with the highest level ever of CO2 whose origin is plainly anthropogenic, with sea levels that are rising as we speak, with oceans rapidly acidifying from CO2 absorption due to rising atmospheric CO2, while CO2 is physically proven to cause a greenhouse effect, and you guys are saying, "Global Warming is a hoax" or "Anthropogenic Global Warming is a hoax."
I don't even know what to say. I think your age and testosterone level simply program you to challenge the status quo or accepted consensus, whatever it happens to be.
It is easier for the eye of a camel to pass through a rich man than for a needle to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Most scientists would probably agree roughly with Rick about anthropogenic climate change.

Interesting. I thought the consensus is as real as the consensus for the molecular weight of Beryllium. Maybe a little less, still > 90-95%. Can you guys link me to a neutral source that disputes that?
I'll put any trust in Wikipedia aside for the moment.
Climate change consensus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm genuinely curious, because the climate change debate isn't something I've followed.
I've heard some legitimate people argue against it, but it's almost as settled as evolution. Of course some people argue against evolution (yes, yes, yes, largely on "ideological grounds" as if there were any grounds that aren't ideological), but the mainstream of the scientific community agrees with evolution totally. So yes the "scientific community" agrees on it as far as the scientific community can agree on anything. There are detractors for everything (hell, there are detractors for gravity, or at least every variant of the general scientific conception thereof).
Not a rule, just a trend.
IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.
Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...
I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.
To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures ... I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
