Fish kills are fairly common along the Gulf Coast, particularly during the summer in the area near the mouth of the Mississippi, the site of this kill. The area is rife with dead zones -- stretches where sudden oxygen depletion can cause widespread death. But those kills tend to be limited to a single species of fish, rather than the broad sort of die-off involved in this kill.
And therein lies the concern of Gulf residents, who suspect this may be yet another side effect of the catastrophic BP oil spill.
Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungessersounded the alarm bells Monday, distributing the photos here to the local media. Nungesser said that no testing is currently planned to determine how the kill may relate to the BP oil disaster, but he pleaded with officials from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to investigate.
This belongs in the class of 9/11 no-planer theories. If I was a big unaccountable oligopoly I would be fine with everyone thinking this was all a clandestine hoax to create a carbon tax, like I would be fine if people thought that every environmental catastrophe was actually caused by Haarp and not my own senseless mismanagement of the environment so to keep them happily enslaved to me and my obsolete fuel source, just long enough to manufacture fuck you cyborgs to kill the ones I didn't need. I have proposed many months ago that the oil spill drama was being exaggerated, and indeed when compared to the suffering abroad (earthquakes, forest fires, floods) it is quite trivial in its global significance, however videos like the one below absolve the oil companies of all responsibility. It was no doubt a media circus, as heavily criticized on fadsmashers.com however to turn a blind eye to the consequences out of fear of being enslaved to a carbon tax (when we are already hopelessly enslaved in every way) is naive.
(AP) -- Georgia scientists say their analysis shows that most of that BP oil the government said was gone from the Gulf of Mexico is still there.
The scientists say as much as 80 percent of the oil still lurks under the surface. The Georgia team said it is a misinterpretation of data to claim that oil that is dissolved is actually gone. The report from University of Georgia and other scientists came from an analysis of federal estimates.
Earlier this month federal scientists said that only about a quarter of the oil remained and the rest was either removed, dissolved or dispersed.
