Some people will say that I am just being an alarmist and that there is no proof that the dispersants nor the oil are causing this massive kind of problem in our environment.
Some will come out with arguments and pooh pooh the whole idea that what BP has done will be/ are the only causes of the problems I have listed.

I say if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, odds are pretty good that it's a duck.

I do not care if BP's actions or lack thereof are not the only causes.
What is certain is the fact that BP's oil gusher in the Gulf with their subsequent handling of this disaster has not created one lick of good.
Truth is this:

BP's handling of the Gulf oil disaster has done extreme harm.
Odds are very good that BP's handling of the Gulf Oil volcano gusher is directly responsible for the major problems we are seeing in the environment right now regarding all that I have shown here.

Everyday I get all kinds of environmental alerts to my e-mail box and none of them address this most egregious harm that BP has perpetuated upon our earth.
I e-mailed them back and said why not?
I have not had a single answer to my inquiry as of yet.

It is possible that once the toxic dispersants stop being sprayed in the Gulf things can begin to heal there. That is once they stop spraying .. however...word has it that BP is still spraying dispersants as of the day of this writing.

see this

How long it will take those dispersants to bio-degrade in the environment is still an open question. How long after the Biodegrading does it take for the fish numbers and other marine life to again become abundant..no one knows.
Long term damage done?

Rest assured there will be long term damage.

We are just beginning to see the widespread effects of BP's poor decision making.
We have never had a oil gusher nor toxic dispersant dump of this magnitude before.

One thing is certain ..like a pebble dropped into a pond the waves from this BP Gulf oil gusher's destruction will continue to have a huge unfavorable impact on our lives... no matter where you are on the planet for a long time to come.
