Why the oil spill isn't BP's fault : Comments
By Kris Sayce, published 18/6/2010Because of a lack of private property rights there's no private owner putting pressure on BP to clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

I think this is "Karma" coming to get BP after they changed their logo to look like a flower.

CO2 – Perhaps you would prefer that the IPCC publish the unscientific rants of oil shills - Anthony Watts, Steve McIntyre, Swizzle Eyes Monckton, Vaclav Klaus and the rest of the fossil fuel industry parasites - all unqualified, all claiming expertise and all peddling disinformation to an unsuspecting public?
It appears that you have zero knowledge on the important role that Greenpeace has played over decades, particularly within its research laboratories which house its peer-reviewed scientists (based at the University of Exeter in the UK) who provide scientific advice and analytical support to Greenpeace offices worldwide, over a range of disciplines. An extensive database of scientific literature has been built up at the Greenpeace laboratories since 1986 and serves as a core information resource centre but you claim this is ‘pseudo-science?' http://www.greenpeace.to/people.htm http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BfMAR-57h4sJ:www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/Blogs/makingwaves/deploying-mescosms-79n/blog/12004+greenpeace+laboratories+scientists&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au In addition, Greenpeace has extensive experience and knowledge on the environmental impacts of oil spills so were your obfuscations unintentional or were they meant to impede endeavours to mitigate emissions of CO2?

Private ownership of the oceans?
Why not the air? Charges to fly through it (safely), and charges to breathe it? Come on, Kris! Posted by Ponder, Friday, 18 June 2010 4:52:05 PM

Ponder,
LOL You beat me to the punch. If we privatised the atmosphere we could charge people for dumping greenhouse gases in it. Posted by stevenlmeyer, Friday, 18 June 2010 5:24:31 PM

I don't like Obama's condemnatory rhetoric about BP. We don't know if BP is guilty of negligence of any sort or not.
America's (and the developed world's) addiction to oil is to blame. BP and CEO Tony Hayward are now in the position of just being condemned for everything that can incur the slightest bit of criticism, while all their positive efforts will incur no compliments but rather just further condemnation for not being good enough. This is the psychology of a company and individual that are in the bad books. Obama should realise this and stop promulgating it. Posted by Ludwig, Friday, 18 June 2010 6:32:45 PM

*they are quaking in fear that if we the people go after BP for this and make them pay*
LOL Mikk! It turns out that those capitalists in Florida will use the courts to claim every cent that they can think of and it will be British pensioners, who on average will lose 600 pounds each, just on the dividend cut. For of course British pensioners are the major shareholders of BP. I'm amused that you are happy, that they are about to get screwed by the US courts and legal system. Florida's rich capitalists will no doubt cash in big time! Posted by Yabby, Friday, 18 June 2010 11:33:28 PM
