An AP video shows how the oil spill has affected the Gulf so far. The well has leaked the equivalent of 12 cans per person in the US, into the Gulf since the rig exploded in April. Clean up efforts seem to be doing more harm than good...Messy cleanup of BP oil spill damages the Gulf
It seems like we have disturbed nature to the point where there may be no going back. Another news story reports 500 dead penguins on the Brazilian shores, most of them with no food in their stomachs. They appear to have starved to death. That is a sad story but the disturbing aspect is that scientists do not know why. There seems to be much we do not know about our effects on the planet. An NPR news story yesterday cautioned that while reasonably healthy for us (apart from the PCPs building up in their systems), salmon are farmed in an environmentally non-friendly way. Tilapia, on the other hand, are raised using environmentally favorable methods but have little nutritional value because they do not contain the omega -3's which are the most valuable component of fish. It like we cannot win. We are waging a very risky war against our planet and slowly but surely we are losing. Reminds me of King Canute who demanded the waves to stop and got washed away. It is only a matter of time I think.
