Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
In this special one hour program, a panel of experts discussed the long term problems problem of the Gulf Oil spill.

In the first half of the show, ecologist, scientist, and spiritual explorer David Sereda talked about the Gulf oil disaster, and possible toxic rains that could cause serious problems. Chemicals from the oil, such as benzene and sulphur dioxide can evaporate into the atmosphere and have toxic effects when breathed or through rainfall, he said. Some 300 million gallons of oil may have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico (30 times larger than the Exxon Valdez spill), and if we don't skim off as much of that as possible, the entire East Coast could be subject to toxic rains once hurricane season reaches its peak, he added.
He suggested that people in the Gulf Coast region check their rain water to see if it’s clear or has oil or discoloration in it, and to possibly have it tested. If contamination has occurred, people should consider getting water purification systems for their homes, he said.

During the second half of the show Professor of Biology Peter Ward, talked about the impact of BP’s oil Leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf contains thousands of streams—the oil will go up into those streams and sink into the mud, and there’s no easy way to clean it, he warned, adding that the increase rise of sea levels, the oil will be pushed inward.

In the last part of the hour, Jerome Corsi, co-author of Black Gold Stranglehold, discussed the abiotic oil theory, which suggests that oil is not formed by decaying matter. Rather, it's a non-biological, natural product that is replenished by the earth. The so-called oil shortages are a tactic by the oil companies to charge more money, he argued.
