Tropical Storm to Swirl Into Gulf Next Week

It's funny how all our concerned about the damage this oil leak is doing to our environment but most turn around And scoff when someone suggests that the earth is warming due to pollution

Meteorologists do not yet know if Alex will re-intensify in the Gulf of Mexico.
I do know what will happen. Alex will churn the BP surface oil slick and subsurface cloud into a nightmarish broth that will rapidly spread from Key West to Cancun. Wake up, folks. There are 7 billion of us, increasing by 10 to 15 % per decade. The Gulf is effectively dead, written off by human incompetence, government bungling (thanks for the leadership, Barak. I voted for you. I thought you were brilliant. Guess I overestimated you.) BUT, in the meantime, PLEASE, Americans. visit the Gulf NOW, especially Florida. They need your tourist dollars desperately to sock away a little captial beofre economic doom strikes. Support the people of the Gulf. For the wildlife - weep.

Obama ignored this oil well blowout, while he played cheerleader for his Cap and Trade Bill, which will drain your pocketbook if passed.He also ignored the Governor of Louisiana until the sittuation really got out of hand. He paid more attention to golf and not the gulf.

This is bad on so many levels! Does anyone know where all the oil residue and washed up dispersants are being put once collected? It can be contained but it must be going somewhere does any one know where????

I was just wondering what would happen if a hurricane picked up all that oil and soaked a large city like Miami with it, or Disneyland. Would those dingbats in the White House care to clean it up THEN?

There is a good chance these relief wells are not going to work. Even if they do it won't be till August or later. We should NUKE it now and save what we can.

I live in Noth Alabama now but did live on the beach in Panama City Beach Florida. It has broke my heart to see friends of mine who depended on the beach and its lifestyle for a living, doing without because of this oilspill. It was commented that we should all volunteer to clean up to save the money being spent to union employees to do the clean up.
My cousin lives in Mobile and applied to work cleaning and was told that out of state people would be brought in to do that. She and some friends tried to go and volunteer to do the cleaning and were told that they were not allowed on the beaches unless they were the ones contracted to clean up.
Now I have a problem with this in a couple of ways...one...they should hire the local people to help with the clean up to offset just a little of the money they are all losing due to the loss of tourism in the area and second who do they think they are to tell anyone they should not help with the cleanup if they want to volunteer. My cousin was told that they needed the proper training to handle the problem...how much training could it require or is that also something they will be coming out with a government funded training for BP employees to take and be paid to be a part of. I mean WOW how much more insane is this going to get before everyone stands up and tell the president that enough is enough!

The handling of this incident from the beginning has been one huge bad joke. The government as well as the press, politicians, even environmentalists, have gone about intentionally deceiving Americans and the world. First of all everyone who insists on referring to Deepwater Horizon as an oil spill should be prosecuted for deceptive practices. It was not, and is not, an oil spill. It is a blowout, a familiar preventable occurrence in oil drilling. Contrary to months of deceptive statements made knowingly and designedly, there is a quick remedy. A counter blowout using either conventional explosives or nuclear. The problem for BP was the risk that this solution might damage the deepwater well. Rather than damage its well, it was, and is prepared, to damage the entire Gulf of Mexico and costal portions of the United States. This debate is nonsense. And we Americans are fools for going for it.

IF WE ALL PRAY, WE CAN TURN THAT STOM WESTWARD. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, PRAY THIS EVENING AT 5:00PM AND WATCH THE 6:30 NEWS.

I have lived in Florida for many years and see how many people make a living off of what the ocean has to offer, whether it be fishing, restaurants or the hotels and businesses around those area. The panhandle beaches are already closed down. I don't hear any solution being given that can take care of this oil that is ruining lives in and out of the water. This is 2010 and we are suppose to have the most modern of technology and you are going to tell me that they don't have a plan yet??????? As for the judge that said drilling can continue = He should be removed from the bench immediately and forced to clean up the tar washing on the beaches til he can't see anymore tar. He is a disgrace to himself, his family and to every decent judge out there. Why aren't we calling for his resignation
