That's actually a valid question.

Is this spill actually causing lots of damage to the ecology? Is it true that more oil seeps into the ocean naturally than this?

I mean, yes, it's a bad spill, but is the damage actually happening? What has happened so far?

Wheres the damage? Wheres the oil? The ocean absorbs a lot of it.

I can't stop laughing. sheesh

Can you factually say where he said something incorrect.

I just found this.... What say you all?

A joint study by NASA and the Smithsonian Institution found that more oil seeps into the ocean naturally than from drilling accidents. According to the study, natural underwater oil deposits leak some 62 million gallons of oil a year into the ocean compared with 15 million gallons from offshore drilling. Offshore drilling is actually the smallest source of oil pollution in the oceans, while runoff -- from activities like car owners changing their own oil -- is the largest at 363 million gallons per year.

Officials estimate 5,000 barrels of crude — or 200,000 gallons — are being spewed each day by the damaged offshore BP well.

(Minor aside: Note that there are 42 gallons in an oil barrel so that 200,000 gallons actually equals about 4,762 barrels.) Suppose that 5,000 barrels goes on for 90 days unabated. That would be 18 million gallons. That is about 29 percent of the amount that naturally leaks into the ocean and it is actually 20 percent more than normally leaks into the ocean each year from all offshore oil drilling. If you add natural and manmade sources together, this would account for about 23 percent of that total.

oil tar balls just started arriving in Key West today.

Tree huggers claimed they'd be arriving any time thanks to the gulf stream/tides, and they're right on time.

BP claims they must be from boats.

I guess we'll see in the coming weeks.

It's hilarious that some people claim the damage is minimal, when the oil is still pumping, and they have zero info about what sits in that water a mile deep, the width of puerto rico... LMAO....

thats true but you have to remember thats form all the oceans and not from one spot in the gulf , if you think that its not going to effect anything than your pretty gullable

I am not personally saying it won't affect something, but I am wondering what the extent will be.

I don't like running around screaming about the apocalypse before it's actually here.

Sounds very "chicken little"

Gulf oil spill: NOAA expands no-fishing zone to nearly a fifth of the gulf
Source: LA Times

Federal authorities on Tuesday expanded the no fishing zone associated with the BP oil spill to encompass 19% of the Gulf of Mexico. The closure now totals 45,728 square miles, extending southeast from the blowout site in the shape of a dog leg.

The expansion follows the trajectory of the spill, a portion of which is heading south, where scientists say it could become entrained in the Loop Current.

In a Tuesday news conference, Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the main body of the BP spill remained dozens of miles from the loop. But "a tendril of light oil" was approaching the current, which could carry it around the Florida peninsula.

"Oil is increasingly likely to become entrained, if it is not already," she said, predicting that it would take eight to 10 days to reach the Florida Straits between the Florida Keys and Cuba.

i guess i'll have to send this to the fucking morons at fox

I very rarely say this. But seriously.

Brit Hume (who I like) is HIGHLY uninformed on this issue.

Mocking the spill because "Why aren't the beaches covered?" "Where's the oil?"

They said it would take 1-2 weeks and sure as shit, it's arriving now. The local media reports this weird stink all over SW Florida, and while scientists say it's the oil, I haven't seen BP checking the air quality around here lol...

"Where's the oil".... geez. It's arriving now. Every hour, more of these weird tar balls wash up on Key West, right on schedule.

This is not crude oil.This oil will be dissolved by the ocean they cant find the oil because its being dissolved.Britt Hume is 100% correct as the FOX hosts usually are.

The ocean does. Bacteria will eat a lot of it. But that causes dead zones as it depletes the water of o2.
I understand the question because with an estimated 5 million gallons supposedly spilled you would be curious to know where is it all?? But, this is a tragedy to say the least and we will pay for it for a long, long time.

updated 1 hour, 8 minutes ago
GRAND ISLE, La. - Officials closed the public beach here Friday as thick gobs of oil resembling melted chocolate washed up, a very visible reminder of the blown-out well that has been spewing crude into the Gulf of Mexico for a month.

Up to now, only tar balls and a light sheen had come ashore. But oil was starting to hit the beach at this island resort community in various forms — light sheens, orange-colored splotches and heavier brown sheets — said Chris Roberts, a local official who surveyed the area Friday morning.

"It's difficult to clean up when you haven't stopped the source," said Roberts, a councilman for Jefferson Parish, which stretches from the New Orleans metropolitan area to the coast. "You can scrape it off the beach but it's coming right back."

BILLY,

you said the oil would be dissolved. what is all the shit shutting down the beaches in lousiana?

at the very least, can you revise your 100% number?

So for the record, can we all agree that this La beach covered with shit is proof that brit was wrong, as was BILLY's assertion that "This oil will be dissolved by the ocean they cant find the oil because its being dissolved"

what did brit say that was factually wrong?

he said lets wait and see...
he said the ocean absorbes a lot...

what did he say that was wrong?
