Wasn’t the Methane Gas produced by “Cow Flops” one of the the biggest contributors to CO2 gas in the atmosphere/global warming?

The Gulf will recover as did Prince William Sound in Alaska.

Nature3 does a wonderful job of cleansing itself. Oil is a naturally occurring substance and in time will dissipate.

I was with them until they mentioned global warming.

You can still find oil on the beaches in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

It will probably take 50 years for nature to clean up this mess and for the Gulf to return to its prior state.

“Oil is a naturally occurring substance and in time will dissipate.”

Uranium is also a naturally occurring substance.

Uranium is also a naturally occurring substance.

And in its natural state is relatively harmless.

Two years ago there was no way to walk the beach in Biloxi barefoot for all of the junk metal, glass and plastic that washed out as the Katrina waters receded.

Methane = Natural gas

The point being that just because something is “naturally occurring” someplace on the planet doesn’t mean that a “nature can clean itself” approach is valid.

"“There is an incredible amount of methane in there,” Kessler told reporters in a telephone briefing. "

God's revenge for man taxing/punishing His creation, the cows.

How many cows would it take to create the amount of methane at the Gulf?

“Two years ago there was no way to walk the beach in Biloxi barefoot for all of the junk metal, glass and plastic that washed out as the Katrina waters receded.’

And then there is the impact on wildlife. How long will it take for those populations to return back to previous levels.

Round numbers.....that's the tip-off that even before you read the article it's going to be misleading. 1,000 time worse, 5,000 people killed, 25,000 starving....and it goes on and on and on.

Now, if the article said that it was 758 times worse than thought, I would read the article without doubts since a real figure was cited.

In the case of “Texas A&M scientists” and “global warming” you just gotta know that the article was going to be severely slanted to the left.

There has always been oil globs on the beaches up there. Don’t blame the Valdez, blame natural leakage from the ground.

Concentrated Uranium is a naturally occurring substance? I didn’t know that we mine the depleted uranium shells directly out of the ground.

Sheese. Aren’t you at the wrong board?

In some areas, the crew of 12 scientists found concentrations that were 100,000 times higher than normal.

Dang! That's almost as high as what's in the White House and DC right now.

Please point out where I used ‘Concentrated “ or “depleted uranium shells”. If you can’t then admit you are a lousy liar.
