Now that the BP well is plugged, why is the damage proving to be a small fraction of what was being reported?
Could it be that the event was exaggerated for political or financial gain? Like SARS, H1N1 etc.? Could it be that the media were reporting about something about which they knew nothing but that more drama is more profitable? Food for thought for doomsayers. But completely predictable.
