Good point.
After the BP/Obama deep-water offshore drilling disaster, the microbes cleaned things up. This kind of thing has probably happened many times over. Yet our press never takes note. So, the next time there is an oil spill it will be up to us to remember that, if we can only buy time, as Bobby Jindhal did, the problem will go away.
Oh, didn't you hear?
EVERYTHINGGG was going to be DESTROYED!!! Foreverrrrr!
Some people just don't understand dynamic systems.
