A startling new image released by NASA today shows a massive column of oil extending out Southeast towards the open ocean.
This column has not been visible in any satellite photos taken so far and will no doubt change the estimated extent of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.

According to NASA the column is visible because it was taken when the sun was reflecting off the oil making the sheen much more prominent. The photo was taken by NASA's Terra satellite yesterday (May 18th, 2010)

Jennifer Grayson: Eco Etiquette: Is The Gulf Oil Disaster Obama's Katrina?
Also I blame Obama, for being completely useless and incompetent in making any decision and handling any problem.

Of course, this could just be hyperbole and Satire on my part... Then again not. Do the research and decide which....

Spock always said the demise of man will be due to the excessive use of his brain.
Humans just aren't fitting into the big picture on this planet. We will extinguish ourselves just as we extinguish everything on this earth.
Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. The earth will treat us, in time, the same way we have treated it. It's not nice to try to fool Mother Nature!!
However any of this plays out in the long term, it will be purely of our own doing.
History proves that all brutality, demise of civilizations, can be traced back to $$.
Yes, attila, we are but a grain of sand on the beach. Ego reigns supreme because it is the squeaky wheel and will also create the demise of the human on this earth.
underneath a small pic of the spill...
My brain goes ....Oh Wow!! the spill is shaping into Mahutma Gandi's profile .....no ....no

Hard won chuckle...we are brokenhearted
Innovation please? I like the straw idea but its way too simple, or at least not a complete solution.
This will be the worst environmental accident (sort of) ever. A huge destruction of life and wealth. An oil spill is the environments version of big banks.
Link to this "science," please....?
Nobody, including any person working for an oil company, wanted this to happen. It's a situation where everybody, including BP, loses. There is blame on all levels for this.
That being said, BP, Haliburton & TransOcean need to pay dearly.
Change will be possible when people have that picture of the spill in their mind every time they get into their cars powered by the very oil strangling the Gulf.
We don't all drive Hummers and RVs. Some of us live in big cities and take subways everywhere. And some of us get shouted down by the freaks on the right screaming "drill baby drill!" or complaining about Obama's "boot on the throat of BP" (really, Rand Paul? Really??)
Change is *also* possible when laws are passed and regulated (for-real regulated, not make-believe regulated). We can't make anyone care about the planet, esp if they can make a lot of money by not caring about it. What we CAN do is tighten regulation and MAKE them compliant with safe and careful energy policies.
Whether that will ever actually happen, of course, is another matter entirely....
Yes, America IS stupid.....
Also, Bill Maher says that if you insist on quoting him, spell his name correctly.
You may now go back to reading your Texas textbook.
I will admit though that I don't think he's been vocal enough against the perps. Then again, if he opens his mouth about it, he might get chastised again by tthat experienced statesman Baby Paul again.
