Oil consumption v. the animals, animals lose

Posted by Eric @ 3:58 PM

These unmitigated disasters offer further incentive (as if it was needed) to get off the fossil fuel habit, from MSNBC:

Russia:

Oil from Russian spill kills 30,000 birds
"The damage is so huge it can hardly be evaluated. It can be compared to an ecological catastrophe," Interfax news agency quoted Alexander Tkachyov, governor of Russia's Black Sea region of Krasnodar, as saying.

"Thirty thousand birds have died, and it's just impossible to count the loss of fish," he told regional officials.

California:

  • Criminal Probe in California Oil Spill Begins

  • Calif. declares emergency over Bay Area oil spill


    • Earlier Calif. stories:

  • Crew in Bay Area oil spill could be charged

  • Crew Faces Criminal Probe In SF Bay Oil Spill

    (I'll spare you the photos of dying birds here, but be forewarned that they accompany two of the stories I've linked)
