  4. Four tankers were apparently struck or disabled by the U.S. forces near Iran’s Jask area.

    Satellite imagery shows one tanker on fire and extensive oil spills, including leaks from two tankers, with another spill detected about 7.4 kilometers from the anchorage site.

    Trump's war is causing the biggest environmental disaster in modern history.

    This is so infuriating.

  16. The many costs of war. An oil slick from an Iranian ship destroyed by the US is moving toward the Hara Biosphere, a mangrove swamp that is home to migrating birds, endangered turtles, and crustaceans. Due to continued bombing in the region no clean up has begun yet.

  17. “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money”

    See how the amount donated by Americans to charity per year compares to the size of outstanding student debt. Or how Walmart’s revenue measures up against Elon Musk’s wealth. Or how the U.S. military budget stacks up against China’s… and so much more.

    From the estimable David McCandless and his wonderful site Information is Beautiful, an illustration of how expenses and wealth that run to over a billion dollars compare.

    $Billions

    Then peruse “$Trillions.”

    As we ponder the pecuniary, we might recall that on this date in 1989, Exxon Valdez, an oil supertanker owned by Exxon Shipping Company, bound for Long Beach, California, struck Prince William Sound‘s Bligh Reef, 6 mi west of Tatitlek, Alaska. The tanker spilled more than 10 million US gallons of crude oil over the next few days.

    The Exxon Valdez spill is the second largest in U.S. waters, after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in terms of volume of oil released. It is the costliest disaster ever with no direct human fatalities. The oil, extracted from the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, eventually affected 1,300 miles of coastline, of which 200 miles were heavily or moderately oiled; and it wreaked havoc with the habitats salmon, sea otters, seals, and seabirds in its path.

    Exxon spent an estimated $2 billion cleaning up the spill and a further $1 billion to settle related civil and criminal charges. Exxon was also assessed another $2.5 billion in punitive damages in a suit (Exxon v. Baker)… but that was reduced by the Supreme Court to roughly $500 million. Exxon remained hugely profitable– the process of payment was drawn out over decades and long term damage continues and is not funded by Exxon. Hence, the Exxon spill is often cited as shorthand in conversations about corporate responsibility as a case of accountability for societal damage inadequately enforced.

  20. Top Story in the Arctic this week!

    In Russia, an oil tanker carrying 1 million oil barrels to China courted disaster by travelling without ice shielding. Inevitably, it got stuck after colliding with an ice flow, needing a quick rescue

  21. Last week in the Arctic, September 30th rundown:

    1) An oil tanker travelling from the Russian Arctic to China, without any ice shielding, narrowly avoided a serious disaster. It struck sea ice and got stuck for days, avoiding a spill as Russia courts tragedy in the north.

  22. #Louisiana cancels $3 billion #coastal #restoration project funded by #OilSpill settlement

    By JACK BROOK
    Updated 9:17 PM EDT, July 17, 2025

    NEW ORLEANS (AP) — "Louisiana on Thursday canceled a $3 billion repair of disappearing Gulf coastline, funded by the 2010 #DeepwaterHorizon oil spill settlement, scrapping what #conservationists called an urgent response to #ClimateChange but Gov. #JeffLandry viewed as a threat to the state’s way of life. [??!!! Like pollution from BP isn't a threat?!!!]

    "Despite years of studies and reviews, the project at the center of Louisiana’s coastal protection plans grew increasingly imperiled after Landry, a Republican, took office last year. Its collapse means that the state could lose out on more than $1.5 billion in unspent funds and may even have to repay the $618 million it already used to begin building.

    "The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group, a mix of federal agencies overseeing the settlement funds, said that 'unused project funds will be available for future Deepwater Horizon restoration activities' but would require review and approval.

    "The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion Project aimed to rebuild upward of 20 square miles (32 kilometers) of land over a 50-year period in southeast Louisiana to combat sea level rise and erosion on the Gulf Coast. When construction stalled last year because of lawsuits, trustees warned that the state would have to return the hundreds of millions of dollars it had already spent if the project did not move forward.

    "Former Louisiana Rep. #GarretGraves, a Republican who once led the state’s coastal restoration agency, said that killing the project was 'a boneheaded decision' not rooted in science.

    " 'It is going to result in one of the largest setbacks for our coast and the protection of our communities in decades,' Graves said. 'I don’t know what chiropractor or palm reader they got advice from on this, but — baffling that someone thought this was a good idea.'

    "Project supporters stressed that it would have provided a data-driven, large-scale solution to mitigate the worst effects of an eroding coastline in a state where a football field of land is lost every 100 minutes and more than 2,000 square miles (5,180 square kilometers) of land have vanished over the past century, according to the U.S. Geological Survey."

  23. The Oil Company Behind the #DeepwaterHorizon Spill Wants to Do a Massive, Risky Drilling Project in the Gulf

    July 11, 2025

    "What’s happening: #BP, the company behind the worst #OilSpill in U.S. history, is asking the Trump administration to allow it to drill a new, #UltraDeepwater project in the #GulfOfMexico.

    "Why it matters: BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010 killed 11 people and released 4.9 million barrels of oil that blanketed the Gulf shoreline. It wiped out horrific amounts of marine life, cratered local economies, and left Gulf communities burdened with everything from health issues to unemployment.

    "The conditions around BP’s new proposed project, #Kaskida, could make it even more dangerous than the Deepwater Horizon. Kaskida would be in greater depths, where equipment would have to withstand higher pressures and temperatures.

    "BP lacks experience operating this type of well and had not met required qualifications for using this drilling technology at the time of its application. It also vastly underestimates the impacts of another oil spill. We’re telling the government not to give BP another chance to contaminate the Gulf and disrupt coastal communities."
