Enviromental Disasters & People

Another oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This time its BP.

I always wondered what BP stands for. Then I knew it was British Petroleum.

Now the Americans call BP = British Polluters.

Well, I am glad its BP and hope next time its Shell.

No, I am not mean. Come on, all oil companies have to get bad publicity at least once.

Exxon Mobil got it for the Valdez oil spill.

I hope Petronas does not f*!k up like the others or we will be BROKE by 2012 !

I know what the Socialist / Communist have to say :

Bloody capitalists destroying the environment without mercy just to get profits !

Wait a minute, even the Socialist / Communist have got their hands dirty.

The difference about socialist / communist when they screw up is that they try to keep it a secret.

Unfortunately, for the capitalist who screws up, it goes PUBLIC & they try to sue them for EXTRAORDINARY SUMS of DAMAGES.

The Socialist / Communist are pretty good at covering up their "ACT" they have done to the environment.

Ever heard about the Aral Sea & Darvaza ?




Aral Sea - The Soviets were trying to do 2 things-

(1) Build an irrigation system to irrigate plantation in the inland
(2) Research on Biological weapons in an island in the sea.

Things got bad and the Biological Weapons facility was just abandoned and the sea started to shrink thanks to the wonderful irrigation system.

Next is, Darvaza ( The Gateway to Hell)






Now, this is a crater with methane burining inside it for the last 20 years.

Oh yeah, thats a lot of methane.

Our Soviet friends tried to build a gas extraction plant on top of the place but sadly the ground below was too soft and collapsed.

Methane is poisonous and 2x worst than Carbon Dioxide as a greenhouse gas.

So, how to solve the problem ? Just burn the feaking gas !

You solve the problem and create a spectacular site like never seen before.

Mmm... I wonder is BP thinking what I am thinking ?

Why not set the oil floating in the gulf on fire ?
