umm, yeah. except that the oil plumes are still there, the only thing that was "gobbled up" by the bacteria was some of the methane, and an 80 square mile kill zone around the site of the leak.

yeah, you're probably right. mother earth can handle the damage. besides, she probably deserved it didn't she, i mean the way she looks so good and abundant, she's just asking to be exploited and polluted, isn't she?

Funny how I have to do a lot of research to find anything resembling technical speculation of global negative feedback, while almost every day I hear about runaway global warming (positive feedback). It is now to the point that I don't trust the scientists! I am trained in the scientific method and do trust that way of getting to the truth. However, it seems that the politicians have been able to muck up the works here — probably by interjecting money, in the form of research grants, on one side or the other so that we don't get a fair hearing into the matter.

In any event, it seems that here is an example of a negative feedback. Just in time!!
