there is gobs and gobs of research proofing that cleaning up spills like the bP and valdez spill exponentially make the pollution worse.
moreover, as of a year ago::::::::
"The bottom line from this research may be that the Gulf of Mexico is more resilient and better able to recover from oil spills than anyone thought," Hazen said. "It shows that we may not need the kinds of heroic measures proposed after the Deepwater Horizon spill, like adding nutrients to speed up the growth of bacteria that breakdown oil, or using genetically engineered bacteria. The Gulf has a broad base of natural bacteria, and they respond to the presence of oil by multiplying quite rapidly."
and that crystallizes my efforts to realistically portray the damage. If we continue to overdramatize the damage then we also will continue to do the wrong things to mitigate it.
Not sure why that's so offensive to some of you.
