Hmaly claimed about 1 oil spill wrecking the arctic: Gone for good; get real. It may take yrs to clean up and 50 yrs to get back to a pristene state but gone for good is ridiculous. I think you should be reading up on some things before you make statements you cant back up.. the arctic is a very sensitive area.. due to the type of climate and such.. it would not recover as easily as some: there are studies out there that say if the native flora up therre gets destroyed from something - be it oil spills or other forms of pollution or environemntal disturbance.. it will take a millenia for that to recover - this is due to the poor growing conditions, the permafrost.. etc.. this is the stuff that the animals eat up there (or the herbivores anyhow).. what do you think happens to them when that happens? I'll say in my judgement they starve... when they go, the predators die off as well. This of course is in addition to the caribou herds being upset by the presence of man and the possible declines of those herds due to that. Leave the arctic alone.
