Yes, I realize how melodramatic that sounds, but it's unfortunately true. British Petroleum and the Environmental Protection Agency (that's an oxymoron) lied about the extent of the spill. It's not just a spill, it's a hole in the ocean floor where extremely high-pressured oil exploded the rig and continues to pump thousands of gallons into the Gulf.New estimates are predicting global catastrophe if the hole isn't closed somehow. The volume of oil spewing up out of that hole could most likely---not just possibly---kill much of the life in all the oceans (remember, they're all connected to one another), and make the water so polluted as to kill terrestrials (that's us, and life on land).
We could very well be witnessing the end of the world in perhaps months, not years. And all because BP decided not to follow safety guidelines. Profits come first, you know. The stupidity and cupidity of the corporate world boggles the mind. Scientists say it might take a nuke, planted at just the right spot, to stop it. Barring that, only God could do it. And we all know how often he answers prayers!
