    Nice sarcasm -- so according to you, there is nothing wrong with polluting our waters so excessively? Do you think life on Earth can live without clean water?

      Fortunately, this year is predicted to have one of the highest number of tropical storms/hurricanes on record.

      I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

          Let's just see how big this "dead zone" is this time next year.

          I do not think pollution is okay...I just think that some people sensationalize some things.

                        Not really. Algae blooms and red tide (which is algae also) have been creating them for a few million years.

                        Generally there are fairly localized and no where near this extensive, but they tend to go away in short times and the ocean seems to recover without incident.

                        Now...don't get me wrong. I think that farm runoff is a huge issue and can quite possibly be a major issue to the oceans in the future. It is already a major issue to some inland watersheds. It needs to be controlled much better than it is.

                        It is just that this "dead zone" is not nearly the problem that sensationalist want it to seem. That is my only point really.
