		<description><![CDATA[The Press-Register of Mobile, Alabama discovered new BP oil seepingjust a mile from the site of last summer&#8217;s debacle.  BP wasted no time at all in claiming that the oil wasn&#8217;t theirs&#8230; but the facts prove otherwise.  The fingerprint is clear, as is the location of the oil &#8212; exactly where one would expect it... <a href="http://www.protecttheocean.com/call-on-congress-for-change/"> [Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are still millions of gallons of crude oil and at least 1.4 million gallons of Corexit in the Gulf's waters.  That oil and solvent continues to affect the creatures (including man) living in and near those waters.  A bit over a month ago, dead dolphins began littering the beaches, babies born premature or stillborn at TEN times the usual numbers -- and that's just the near-shore species' corpses that made it to the beach.  Despite government claims to the contrary, shrimp continues to come up laced with both oil and Corexit.  Instead of acknowledging this, our government simply raises the "acceptable" amount to 500 ppm -- when 2.6 ppm is lethal on fish fry within 96 hours. 
With that reality, one would THINK that the first order of business would be to find and extract the remaining oil and pollutants with that billion dollar down-payment.  One might think, but that's not what they're going to do. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Even now, our government is neither reasonable nor reliable with the data they're presenting to the world as "facts."  ... Corexit is known to be lethal to fish fry at just 2.6 ppm over 96 hours.  The U.S. government now claims that 50 times that concentration is safe for people who eat finfish, and 250 times that is supposedly safe for those who eat shrimp?  Don't believe it, people -- not for a minute!

		<description><![CDATA[Suggestions that it is Evaporating are fanciful at best.  Solvents are an oil-based product.  They don't just "evaporate" and disappear.  Even those aspects which can become airborne don't disappear. They pollute our air instead of our water... Some two MILLION gallons of Corexit have been dumped into the ocean by BP.  Given its propensity to spread ahead of the oil itself, there's little doubt that it is "dispersing" into other areas than the Gulf.  The good part is that doing so will reduce the concentration.  The bad part is that concentrations far lower than 2.6 ppm are likely to prove harmful and even lethal to marine life over a long period of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BEST scores were about 16 parts per million -- 8 times lethal levels of toxicity.  The worst tested results were over ONE HUNDRED TIMES AS TOXIC.  But that's not quite all of it yet.  Water taken from near one of the floating barriers designed to contain the oil spill EXPLODED during testing! ]]></description>

By what right does BP control the airspace above the Gulf?  Where do they get off telling U.S. citizens where we can or cannot be or take pictures? ... Now is the time to take action, and to firmly demand that our government do the same.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And so it goes, one snout after another sticking their two cents in, making an appearance, acting concerned... Obama, Jindal, Palin... who needs 'em?  They're doing less than nothing.  Latest word from the Gulf is that clean-up efforts are a hodgepodge mishmash, a bunch of people running around aimlessly, uncoordinated and unsuccessful.  Meanwhile, private interests who are willing and capable and offering help are being turned away.  Nations that are offering help are being turned away.  And the longstanding Water Conservation Act that the EPA is supposed to be enforcing has been shoved under the bus at BP's direction.]]></description>

In fact, as we reported earlier in this ecological disaster, the EPA and BP are specifically prohibited from using it in that fashion by the Clean Water Act of 1972.]]></description>

Top Hat, Top Kill, talk of stopping it up with golf balls (as if a fluid under pressure wouldn't find its way through THAT filter?) and never much sense or likelihood of success in any of them.  At this point, one simply must wonder why BP is stalling.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The President claimed that BP's interests are aligned with that of the public interest to the extent that it is costing them a lot of money...  We must object, and loudly.  BP's interest in spending less money was what caused this in the first place.  Their desire to spend less money in cleanup is what caused millions of gallons of Corexit to be poured into the Gulf.  Their only interest is to reduce liability.  OUR interest is to protect our oceans and the ecology.  These are NOT the same goals, Mr. President.]]></description>
