But it's like trying to ignore a monster chomping down on your neck. It's not possible.
Here is a horrific photo of the Gulf Coast Oil Monster by NASA on July 4, 2010.
According to this: The Gulf Coast Oil Monster spews out 35,000 to 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
"For comparison, this is an amount equal to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill every one to two weeks."
Mama gnome asks, "Pardon me. Did you just say an Exxon Valdez oil spill every ONE to two weeks?"
Mama gnome cannot even wrap her brain around that information.
That much oil is spewing out of that monster every week?
Is there any hope of stopping the Gulf Coast Oil Monster?
So far Mama gnome has written about this terrible tale:
on May 2, "Gulf Coast Oil Spill Monster"
on May 10, "Gulf Coast Oil Spill Monster Mayhem"
on May 19, " Gulf Coast Oil Spill Monster Mayhem Continues"
on May 24, "Mystery Animal of the Day" is an animal tragically affected by the Monster
on May 29, "Gulf Coast Oil Spill Monster Catastrophe"
and now today Mama gnome reports about the ongoing horrific tale of the Gulf Coast Oil Monster.
So far all attempts to fight the Oil Monster were... Mama gnome will just come out and say it...puny attempts and clearly the Oil Monster lives.
When can Mama gnome write a happy ending about this story?
She is dismayed to tell you she doesn't know.
Today, Mama gnome read this report and it states almost unbelievably and Mama gnome says, "I'll believe it when I see it," forecast: that it's possible by Monday July 12, 2010, "a new containment cap and an additional ship collecting oil could effectively contain the spill..."
National Incident Commander Thad Allen wanted to point out he used the word "contained" and not stop because, "'Stop' is when we put the plug in down below."
Contain or Stop...Mama gnome hopes something works...and the Oil Monster will be vanquished.
How about vanquishing environmental monsters everyday? Be an ecowarrior and Go Green!
