From that article:
Quote:
Fish kills are fairly common along the Gulf Coast, particularly during the summer in the area near the mouth of the Mississippi, the site of this kill. The area is rife with dead zones -- stretches where sudden oxygen depletion can cause widespread death.
Oh, but this one's different. They can make BP pay for this one!

+1 BP will pay for that one, whether it's their fault or not.

It happens every year, but this year it's BP's fault?

Everything is BP's fault.

Until they make their next internal investigation public, when we'll all learn that everything is actually someone else's fault. It's a good thing they have smart people working their to solve all of this.

That is so wrong on at least two levels.

dead zones are caused by high nutrient loads in the water (mostly runoff from farms nowadays) and by warmer water (global warming)

dead zones are now starting to appear in some pretty unusual areas - like the N. Pacific

so you'd better get used to it

Gulf spill judge says never too early to settle | Reuters
"The judge overseeing the hundreds lawsuits filed by shrimpers, restaurateurs and others against BP Plc and its partners as a result of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill urged the parties on Thursday to consider an agreement to avoid a trial."
