if you truly realized it (you don't) you'd understand your argument is invalid because the reason the deep water horizon leaked cannot happen on land because that method isn't used on land Furthermore, the XL pipeline is just that....a pipeline where as the deep water horizon is an oil well where drilling happens. I'll stop there because I should probably know a lot more about it than I do being in the field I am but I have more pressing matters on a daily basis at work so I know enough to get me in trouble by saying stupid shit that is inaccurate Lastly, debt is guaranteed. Is a ticking time bomb guaranteed? Well nobody truly knows and if you say you do you're full of even more shit than usual. The changes in the environment could be cyclical, could be human forced or could just be the way things go in evolution or science or whatever spaghetti monster BS people want to believe
