What if a hurricane were to slam into the oil slick?
While the oil leak disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is bad enough, many people have been wondering what could happen if a hurricane were to slam into the region.
...There has been some speculation on the impact an oil slick might have on hurricane intensity, perhaps to the point of limiting the storm's heat- and moisture-grabbing properties. However, high winds from the storm would probably mix the surface of the water and oil to the point, where it would not significantly have an impact. go to story

"The gigantic industrial enterprises are products of a godless civilization." Godless civilization, they no more can depend on the natural gifts. They think by industrial enterprises, they will get more money and they'll be happy. And to remain satisfied with the food grains, vegetables and natural gifts, that is primitive idea. They say, "It is primitive." When men were not civilized, they would depend on nature, but when they are advanced in civilization, they must discover industrial enterprises. So instead of eating on metal dishes, the civilized men should eat on, what is that called, plastic. That's all. Now plastic utensils, not even metal. more
Bringing destruction nearer
excerpt from lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.14.43, New York, April 7, 1973
Our real business is how to get out of this material body. That is, janma-mrityu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-doshanudarshanam [Bhagavad-gita 13.9: observing the problems of life: birth, death, old age and disease"]. This is real knowledge. One should keep in his thought that "My real distress of life are these four things: janma-mrityu-jara-vyadhi — to take birth, to die, to become old and to become diseased. This is my problem." But they do not know this. They are now busy in the petroleum problem. Yes. Yes. They have created this petroleum problem, this horseless tin carriage. Yes. They are thinking, "Better than horse. Now I have got this tin carriage." As soon as it is old it has no value. You throw into the street, especially in your country. Nobody takes care of it. But one must have this carriage. And it must run on petrol, and for that take labor, so hard labor, they go within the desert, drill it, and then take out the oil, then bring it in tanks. And it is called ugra-karma. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, that these rascals, demons, they have created ugra-karma simply for trouble to the whole people. That's all. Kshayaya jagato 'hitah, and bringing destruction nearer, nearer. Now they are going on, and they make big work that means destruction and simply for creating a little comfort. Formerly also they were moving. Transport was there. But they do not like to remain in the former ways, because they have no other engagement. Better engagement that they do not know. Here is the better engagement: to come before Radha Krishna and glorify the Lord, try to understand our relationship. This is our real, real business, but nobody is interested in the real business. They are interested in superfluous engagement whole day work in the office, then come here, go to the club, go to the football club, tennis club. In this way they have invented simply how to waste valuable life of this human form. They have invented. They have no sense that how this life should be utilized for stopping this, I mean to say, prime problem, janma-mrityu-jara-vyadhi. They do not know. So, this Srimad Bhagavatam is giving to the whole world real life, real, what is meant by life.
