CRAP! Just when I might need a new catalytic converter.

The Exxon Valdez spill was 37,000 tons.

This is a bit more than half that, assuming the Russians are correctly reporting the size of the discharge, which if you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you.

The MSM screamed bloody murder about the Exxon Valdez for years.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Notice how when it’s one of the MSM’s little friends, the measurement unit is Tonnes, not barrels or gallons.

Makes for a MUCH smaller number that way

SHEESH

So how many Russians will they be needing up there for cleanup efforts (if this is not being exploited for some other reason)?

[McGruff]

Hey Greta!

[ModelBreaker]

Sure. Why not. It’s 2020.

All we need now is a new radioactive monster from Chernobyl.

[McGruff]

local authorities had only learned of the incident from social media two days after it happened

You've got to be kidding me. Send them to Siberia! Oh wait, never mind.

[Flaming Conservative]

Probably did it on purpose, to give anti-pipeline American progressives fodder. I don’t know -— do evil communist presidents like Putin care about the effects of oil spills?

[ASOC]

They can do better

Say, like they did in the Komi Republic back in '95

20000 tons x 7 barrels per ton = 140,000 barrels.
