Oil in the Ocean, Ire on Land
There's been another oil spill, this time off the coast of Ireland, in the Celtic Sea. Irish officials are monitoring the movement of the slick, as they are currently unsure of how much may come ashore.Boats from several countries are now at the site of the spill, which is currently being credited to two Russian ships, an aircraft carrier and an oil tanker
Here's a more extensive article on the spill, though it quotes Russian officials as saying the spill poses no ecological danger. Yeah, I agree. I mean, what kind of damage could 500 tons of oil do in the ocean? Russian officials also dispute the amount of oil spilled; media reports have estimated the spill at up to 500 tons, while officials claim the spill is closer to 12 tons.
