If the spill from BPs' Deepwater Horizon drill wasn't disgusting enough, the truth about how many gallons really were spilled (especially during the first months) into the ocean are starting to surface. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) attempted to make their worse-case figures public during the first months of the spill, but that decision was pushed back by the White House Office of Management and Budget. It is petrifying that the government has control of the information and facts that are necessary for the people to be informed on current issues. Pushing back warning information about our environment from the scientist who work to find the solutions to our messes, is catastrophic to our ability to be informed and act appropriately. Science should never be taking the backseat to politics. Get the whole story here...
