Tropical Storm Fay Unlikely to Hit US Oil & Gas Production

Tropical storm Fay, expected to strike Florida this week, is unlikely to affect US oil and gas production areas in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm has killed more than 50 people in the Caribbean.

This extract from France24 just about sums up the European view of the US psyche. Never mind, 50 people have been killed in the Carribean but our oil and petrol production will be OK. What price a human life compared to a barrel of oil?

Antarctic Dead by—

OK, so X thousand scientists in the USA have signed a document to say that mankind is not responsible for global warming. To me this is just semantics. Global warming is a description using adjectives. Climate change is a noun followed by an adjective. In other words it tells the situation as it is. The Global climate is changing. This is normal. The extremes are the problem. Until people stop arguing and talking and try to fight nature by curbing man’s activities we will go the same way as the Antarctic.

Baby penguins have died because it rained when it should have snowed. These babies do not have the oil on their feathers yet. Instead of repelling water like their parents they got soaked and froze to death over night. On the other hand the foodchain in the sea is collapsing because the bacteria at the bottom of the the foodchain can’t adapt quickly enough. so, krill that eat bacteria or whatever will die. Then fish and whales that eat krill will die. Then penguines who eat the fish will starve to death. Aren’t we clever! The penguines get it one way or another.

I remember writing an article about oil in the Antarctic the other day. Won’t that make oil abstraction easy? much warmer weather and no protesters trying to protect the penguines!

Arctic Oil set to Meet World Demand

The 90 billion barrels of oil now recoverable from the Arctic Circle should be enough to meet the current level of world demand for the next THREE YEARS .http://http://www.france24.com/en/20080724-Oil-natural-gas-Arctic-Circle-world-demand

And where is there the most oil? ALASKA The Last Wilderness. I’ve been to Alaska. Go there now to see the beauty that will be lost through mans’ greed.

Did you see ‘Burn Up’ last night @ 2100 on BBC2? Second part Friday.rrels of oil now recoverable rom the Arctic Circle should be enough to meet the This drama production is in danger of getting far nearer to the truth than Channel 4. It is both entertaining and frighteningly factual. It would make an ideal study for ‘A’ level.

LETS GET SOME DISCUSSION GOING ON THIS POST!

I’m trying to do my bit to offset the consequences of the energy crisis as it is now called. Pop over to my PowertuneEnergySaver site and see what I mean.
