The oil plus the toxic dipersant in these volumes cannot but do extensive damage off shore and on shore.

The economic hit on BP will not amount to year of profits, or even 1 qtr of profits.

asshole Perry blames it on a Act of God. assholian 10% of Americans think it was an eco-terrorist attack.

This thread is about the environmental impact of the oil, idiot...


(CBS/AP) It may be the most disturbing site yet: the first heavy sludge now oozing into the marshes of Louisiana as the slick continues to grow in size out in the gulf.

CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella reports it's an ominous sight. The oil is thick and black and stretches about a quarter mile down a beach. It goes beyond the booms into the sensitive marsh lands which are home to migratory birds.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal flew over it Tuesday.

"This wasn't just sheen, we were seeing heavy oil out there," Jindal said. "This wasn't just tar balls. It shows you how quick the oil showed up."

When CBS News tried to reach the beach, covered in oil, a boat of BP contractors with two Coast Guard officers on board told us to turn around under threat of arrest. Coast Guard officials said they are looking into the incident.

The impact on wildlife is unclear. Government officials say that 162 sea turtles have died, about half a dozen bottle nose dolphins have died. The sea turtles have not been thoroughly examined yet but federal officials say this seems related to the oil spill. And they admit they have no idea what's happening in the deeper waters because they can't watch it.

What "facts" is the MSM hiding?

They broke the bit about the company estimate of oil leakage being too low by a factor of 10, and we know it is bad. What in particular are we missing?
