BP spill could wipe out humanity, cause mass extinctions

Once again, scientific journalism ftl.
I think that it should be mandatory that when discussing anything new that is science related to only link to credible websites.

[Jason]

Yeah I thought the arguments in this thread were pretty stupid on both sides. Not that I really care either way.

[Funny Hat Man]

Except for mine of course... being as I said everything was fine the whole time.

[Jason]

Yeah but you were still being douchey about it and should have realized how futile arguing with joe is. I even agreed with you a few pages back, but it was drowned in all the doucheyness from everyone else.

[Funny Hat Man]

Yeah well I usually don't lay down when I'm not wrong lol, especially when you smile gracefully as someone else loses their shit

this was the title of the link i posted

Do The Math: The Myth Of A Giant Methane Explosion, Leaked Methane Has Less Than 1% Of Energy Of Mt. St. Helens

Some of your reasoning was pretty flawed, though.

[Funny Hat Man]

Relax, I don't hold grudges. It's not like I had my own facts to support otherwise.... I just have keen eye for bullshit I suppose, can't honestly believe me of all people think half that shit lol. I'm completely aware of the environmental impact but I'm also aware of humanities perseverance in the face of disaster. We'll be fine. Was it a little too much to be optimistic?

Throw some alcohol in the mix and hippie talk of government control and anyone looks crazy :crazy:

guess what guys majin gave me monkey island (the new one)

[Cc_Hairy]

I think joe and fhm just have got a different "impression," of what the ocean is

so what, can't we all be brothers?

[joe]

i guess everyone else didn't notice his comment that the ocean is big

as if a hundred million gallons of oil broken down into droplets isn't enough to fill half the atlantic ocean

as if the ecology isn't a complex web of interactions that are linked throughout the entire globe and oil in the gulf affects everything in the food chain on the planet

as if we hadn't spent that last 50+ years destroying the oceans already so they are barely sustainable

as if all life on the planet doesn't depend on the ocean.

I don't care if the "end of everything hysteria" on the oil spill is true or not, I just hope it pushes toward a better, non-oil future. Doubt it but if you piss off the American people enough, anything can happen.

I'm just sick of hearing oil sympathizes & so called realists that claim oil is utterly unavoidable. What bullshit.

But how can I believe you?! You thought those

scientists and their decades of education and experience backed up by rigorous published peer-reviewed data

were all correct on their doomsday theory...

i fucking hate stupid people who think they are smarter than actual professional scientists

Indeed.

Also, considering the spill hasn't even breached half a million barrels and the Atlantic ocean holds 17 quadrillion gallons of water.... we might make it through! Life finds a way, gaw haven't you ever seen Jurassic park?!

[joe]

the oil collects near the surface dipshit

and scientists have theories and data. what do you have other than a shitty personality? nothing

there's not really any point in trolling any more, i already hate you. anyone who thinks killing off vast amounts of wildlife and ruining the environment for decades is a an opportunity to make jokes is about as low as a person can go. congratulations.

[Funny Hat Man]

Yes. I have a shitty personality. I'm the huge asshole for trying to talk sense into people years older than me that were spewing bullshit about the end of the Earth. I was also right lol

Damn.
