Who's trivializing?
I'm saying and have said for many weeks that the ocean knows how to handle crude oil spills. The mechanisms are in place to naturally decompose and degrade the stuff.
In the natural history of the Earth, do you not think that seismic forces have, at one time or another, opened up a fissure directly into a giant crude oil reservoir? On a planet as seismically active as Earth, you know it's happened in the past, at some point over the last several hundred million years.
So, where's the evidence of a far-reaching, extinction-level event as the result of a crude oil leak? Anywhere?
There IS NO evidence.
We dump at least whole Deepwater Horizon incident into our oceans every year. The oceans suck it up, resorb the stuff, and life goes on. The oceans are already accustomed to processing our spillage, after more than a half century of heavy manmade pollution.
Deepwater Horizon is NOT going to "destroy whole environments" — if crude oil spillage COULD destroy whole environments, don't you think the Gulf of Mexico would already be a toxic wasteland, after 50 or 60 years of nonstop oil pollution?
It's not.
Which tells me that natural mechanisms are in place to handle the spillage. The oceans are capable of cleansing themselves without our assistance.
And TPTB know it... Which is why I think the Deepwater Horizon incident is being allowed to continue without resolution. TPTB need a few oil-stained beaches to push their Green Agenda, Cap & Trade, et cetera.
So they're LETTING it leak.
They know it's not going to destroy the marine environment, but it sure makes a hell of a spectacle to drive the enviro-tards into hysterics.
Why do you think neither BP nor the Obama Administration seem particularly hysterical about this incident? It's because, like me, they have the thing in proper perspective.
Unlike me, they are going to ream out the collective rectum of the world with Cap & Trade, Carbon Taxes and draconian environmental mandates.

Gee... TPTB must be laughing there heads off
"Look at these Sheeple, they are starting to think like us..... well reducing the population might become easier and more acceptable then we thought"
No big deal indeed
