edit tom
most of those are not due climate change
then why are the wildfires in russia, the floods in pakistan and all floods now because of climate change

People are dying from the cold in Europe due to global warming.

2010 Texas City BP Chemical release?

April 2nd, 2011 1 comment

This is in regards to a recent incident in Texas City that took place between April 6 2010 – May 16 2010 in which BP admits(as an estimate) to releasing 538,000 lbs of chemicals (17,000 lbs of benzene, 37,000 lbs of nitrogen oxides, 186,000 lbs of carbon monoxide) due to a failing component in their Texas City plant, that they chose to not shut down due to production losses that would be incurred. The galveston daily news originally reported this on June 5, 2010 with little public attention being paid to it. I recently read, in a small local San Leon publication (San Leon Seabreeze), a follow up article to this which claims the effects of this chemical release were far greater than BP is acknowledging. The publication went as far as to say that people will start developing cancer in 1-2 years, and that there will be a large death toll. From a legal standpoint, would you have to be ill and dying before you could take legal action on this? How would something like emotional distress figure into this? If they were releasing chemicals in the air and I was unaware at the time, I now feel as though I could be breathing dangerous chemicals at any given moment. Not to mention their horrible safety record, and the 2005 explosion that took place in Texas City. Anyone got some legal advice?

First, it sounds like irresponsible journalism and fear mongering…

Second, you have to be damaged before you can take legal action. The question is, when are you damaged? At this point, you don’t even know if you were exposed to the chemicals, much less whether you have been damaged by them. Once you have been damaged, your claim becomes ripe and can be brought.

Are there far more troop deaths/injuries that US admits to? Why hide contractor deaths? All are?

war related, aren’t they?

In outsourced US wars, Contractor Deaths Top 1,000

WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) – The death toll for private contractors in the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has topped 1,000, a stark reminder of the risks run by civilians working with the military in roles previously held by soldiers.

A further 13,000 contractors have been wounded in the two separate wars led by the United States against enemies who share fundamentalist Islamic beliefs and the hit-and-run tactics that drain conventional armies.

The casualty toll is based on figures the U.S. Department of Labor provided to Reuters in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act and on locally gathered data.

The department said it had recorded 990 deaths – 917 in Iraq and 73 in Afghanistan – by the end of March. Since then, according to incident logs tallied by Reuters in Baghdad and Kabul, at least 16 contractors have died in Iraq and two in Afghanistan.

Is THIS why Michael Mann wanted to "hide the decline"?

He was afraid of Al Gore and Co. getting attacked

if the truth came out, the Dems would have one less way to tax us

Do the Global Warmers really expect anyone to believe that record cold weather is the result of global warming?

calling someone uneducated whilst you make a huge spelling error. The word is spelled "denier"

Idiots….man-made global warming is a man-made theory that has been and will continue to be proven false. Some of us knew this all along, I suppose because of our higher levels of discernment.
