yeah—-not to mention that bp had absolutely NO PLAN for cleaning up since ‘it was virtually impossible’ —–
WELL, HOW ABOUT NOW?????????? the gulf spill will impact the area for at least 50 years–and it’s just getting started–and they can’t figure out how to stop it–and this is in an area that’s EASY to get to–what will happen in the arctic??? will we just let it go ‘all winter’ since the ice will be covering it???????? and that’s without mentioning the METHANE that’s ALREADY BUBBLING UP because of the warming going on–how long before there’s a blow out because of that??? COME ON PEOPLE!!! put the R&D into fixing the problems that we can cause–not just into ‘safe drilling’–that’s an oxymoron if i ever heard one–

What impact would an oil spill have on the albedo of the Arctic if a BP-scale oil blow-out were to occur there? i.e., How much more heat would the Arctic absorb as a result of an BP-sized or Exxon Valdez oil spill? What impact would this have on the rate of acceleration of global warming (see http://www.global-warming-forecasts.com/ arctic-ice-free-arctic-climate-change.ph p )? Based on the oil spill rate and record of the past 40 years, how many oil spills and blow-outs are projected for, say, the year 2030 or 2050 if we fully implemented the Palin “Drill, baby, drill” wish list?
Thanks
