GUEST,Sugarfoot Jack who's cookie has gone west BS: US bigots attack British Company (oil spill) (781* d) RE: BS: US bigots attack British Company (oil spill) 20 Jun 10


"Bullshit in five years time you will not even know that this has happened."

complete and utter rubbish Tezza, which I suspect you know. This is the arrogant attitude to nature and the environment that caused this tragedy in the first place.

This report from the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (this link opens a 17mb pdf file) provides a comprehensive overview of the cleanup and the impact on the ecosystem of Prince William Sound. Twenty years on many species are not recovered to pre-spill levels, with cetaceans, other mammals and fish being particularly affected. As the trustees state: "Because complete recovery from the oil spill may not occur for decades, and because healthy habitats are essential to the permanent recovery of the spill region, the Trustee Council has taken steps to extend its efforts to protect key habitats."

The amount of oil leaking into the Gulf, along with the use of chemical dispersants which are themselves toxic to the environment means the impact of the spill will still be with the
Gulf for decades.
