The gulf is fouled. I repeat: that’s not news. It’s not the hot topic of the day. It isn’t fodder for the continuing, persistent cry of our time, to save our planet. It isn’t the latest and the greatest opening for the outrage of eco-bloggers or tears of conservationists. It isn’t a the latest and greatest opportunity to make that most important plea yet again: that human culture come to its senses and stop exploiting before it is too late. No, that isn’t what this disaster is.
