Poor soul trying to save poor creature - part of the hideous, soul crushing devastation from gross human error
(image from Times/Picayune Try To Save Crude Oil Soaked Pelicans)
"Even using the most conservative estimate, that means about 18 million gallons have spilled so far. In the worst-case scenario, 39 million gallons have leaked.That larger figure would be nearly four times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster, in which a tanker ran aground in Alaska in 1989, spilling nearly 11 million gallons." from the Associated Press Gulf Coast Awaits Word That Oil Flow Has Stopped
So, will we have to endure months of land, sea, and air oil contamination while British Petroleum and the US government ineptly ditz around making futile effort after futile effort to stop this god awful crude oil eruption?!? I think it is past time to call on the international community to help us.
SOS, World, SOS, Planet Earth
