I read the article on the sea bed evalaution done bh the U of GA professor. The thing that I picked up....was that she only submerged near the PB well head.
One surely would expect here the sea bed life would be limited and like dead. All the crude for the 90 days of the release crept along the bottom in this area.
But geographically that is a small area of the Gulf Sea bed.
The article did not say if she had done such dives near the LA coast or near the Florida coast. In areas were the sea bed crude would not be as thick.
Also you have the LA shrimpers....that have been a Gov't OK to shrimp again. Meaning that samplings of the shrimp were taken and were found to be safe to net and eat.
So I think that she is dead on with her assessment near the well head. But that hardly means that the entire Gulf is dead from the
PB spill.

Conrad73: Think it is that easy to recycle Plastics?
Easy...??? Cites and towns everywhere collect plastic glass and paper for recycling. Do you live in a cave or something?

Hi TT !!
I read that article too!! Also, and from the Christian Science Monitor no less,Commander Rear Adm. Paul Zekunft, after a six month study, states there is not enough oil near the Macondo wellhead to warrant continued cleanup...He also says less than 1% of the oil sediment samples taken exceeded EPA benchmarks for hydrocarbons...Samantha Joyce, however, is in total disagreement with this and is basing her findings on sediment samples taken near the well base only....

jvaski: Now that's what I call a Google Research Report !
We're talking about the gulf spill. The resilience of the Earth is brought up because most of the oil is gone already. Knee-jerk lefties like you and Em start calling me stupid and a fool and put words in my mouth. I point out that they're your words not mine. More stupid, fool drivel from you two ninnies accompanied by "how does the Earth heal" question from you. An assertion that a little googling would explain how that happens and now you guys switch gears to "OMG there's plastic in the oceans", which has no bearing whatsoever on anything in the preceding discussion.
Besides... In case you hadn't noticed, you can drink water that's been stored in plastic for a long, long, long time. So, aside from the plastic being "ugly" it's not a really severe problem.
The issue of plastic taking thousands of years to break down is passe'. It's not a cool argument any more. You should stick with your new liberal bogeyman, global warming.

YOu know that and I know that and I'll bet even our liberal friends know that but their dishonesty makes them try to argue that the worst cases are the norm.

Yeah? Care to post the link from their site saying that the US will pass the point of no return in 20 years?
Let me guess. You can't find it now, but you know for sure you read it there once.

Say.. dishonesty resides in both camps, unless you define neocons as liberals.

Dishonesty can be found everywhere, but for liberal politics, it's a way of life. Their agendas rely on knee-jerk emotional reactions and the truth just doesn't do it for them. Sensationalism, exaggeration and outright lies are necessary so they're de riguer. Politics, in general, is a filthy dishonesty business, but liberals definitely have raised the bar.
