Researchers have discovered a large “bathtub ring” of oil on the bottom of the ocean due to sinking oil particles presumably from the BP oil spill 4 years ago. The study traces the fallout plume of hydrocarbons from the Macondo Well, and has estimated that around 2 million barrels of oil are trapped within the bottom ocean layers. Although BP has been fined up to $9.2 billion in settlement charges previously for the spill, a new federal case in Louisiana might demand an additional $18 billion. Despite the research, BP says that the data is “overblown.”
Hearing about the BP oil spill reminded me that although we don’t see headlines overarching each year as more research is done, the effects are still being felt… perhaps even due to a time lag. What headlines can you recall being environmentally important and seemed to never be resolved (or at least covered in the news as events progressed)?
Thanks for mentioning this important topic. I understand it better and will read again
