Just what Dr. Petro ordered!
No wonder the oil companies and their tame legislators try to trash climate science at every opportunity.

Agreed. I hope that when and if they do drill up there it will be with the BP disaster in mind. Get your King and Snow Crab Legs while they're still petro free.
Me? I'm safe from that concern, I'm highly allergic to all shellfish. Must've been those above ground nuke tests conducted in Nevada in the fifties and sixties.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downwinders. Funny how all of us L.A. basin folk stuck under an inversion layer laced with fallout in 1958 are not part of that group. I was a year old when it happened. Cancer has claimed my older sis and my older bro had his thyroid removed. Thanks assholes.
