RESOURCES ON THE GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL

Written by: Brian Neudorff:

Like many of you it just saddens me to see the ecological disaster that is taking place in the Gulf of Mexico. As BP continues to try and cap the well and more and more oil spills into the Gulf there are a lot of questions many of you including me have. From time to time we try to address some of those here on this site. Some of the questions we can't even answer.

I have mentioned that I try and read Jeff Masters Wunderground.com Weather Blog a couple times a week. He always post some very interesting and thought provoking posts. He has recently been updating his blog with resources on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. I thought I would share these resources as well as a couple of blog post he has done on the topic. I hope you find them interesting and feel free to leave any comments you may have here for discussion.
