Thank you for writing. Flying in last evening I spotted a large sheen on the water off Isla Vista meandering for several miles; I also have to clean my boat hull if I sail to the Goleta area waters. The facts are blatant that oil seeps from the channel and could be capitalized upon AND reduce oil on beaches. The County, et al is like the blind poodle dismissing the revenue potential and cleaner waters in the channel. I call the rag the "dependent" because over half relies on real estate ads, which is also a head scratcher.
Off shore we have what’s called Monterey Shale. It a fractured sea bed. Which is why we’ve always had tar leaks forever. When the platforms were pumping crude it took the pressure off the reserves, ergo less leaking tar. They’re blinded by hate and they would damage our quality of life rather than learn and accept the truth.
I love the way you expose the hypocrisy of the left. Too bad that the left wing media hides the truth. I have a great slogan for Newscum: “I want to do for the country what I have done for California.” (Or maybe TO California)
Our Sticky Relationship with Local Tar, written by local historian Tom Modugno recaps our centuries-long relationship with local oil seeps and tar. Including those now visible sheens spotted from the air, or as noted by wind-powered sailing ships visiting this same area in the past:
Each new resident, like myself over 50 years ago, still register shock after their first lovely beach walk when discovering their feet became covered with tar. Was it only anecdote that during those same past 50 years after post-GOO oil production had resumed, this initial experience tar shock no longer happened? Yet reports of new visitors and tar shock are again back in the news.
Renaming carbon dioxide to CARBON changes people's mental image and reaction to carbon dioxide (CO2). A colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas which is essential to life has become a dirty pollutant. It is not for brevity that climate change zealots speak about CARBON when they are talking about CO2. Just another facet of the entire climate change debate which is built on pseudoscience and lies. I understand the government gives a lot of money away for climate stuff which explains its appeal.
Why did I have to take an entire semester of Organic Chemistry, 100% based on the carbon molecule, as distinguished from the prior semester of Inorganic Chemistry?
Since that entire semester was devoted to a toxic substance that environmentalists now want to entirely eliminate from its natural recycling on planet earth. I want my money back.
Organic carbon was concentrated in plant matter, buried deep over eons of time, and then brought to the surface again to start the whole recycling process all over again. Burned into the atmosphere, absorbed by plants and then consumed and buried again. Life goes on.
In 1974 I got my scuba divers license here in town wile still in high school. Diving in and around Coal Oil Point I remember diving to the bottom of the ocean floor looking for crabs, scallops and abalone and also watching "OIL" bubble up from the sea floor......

Left-wing media provides daily fodder to debunk. We thank them for playing.

Great article pointing out the hypocrisy.
Like us going into the next ice age in the 70s to global warming a decade later.
The common thread. Follow the money & power plays
But alas the Democrat voter is a goat. Mindlessly doing & thinking as they are told.
Republican voters aren’t much better. Between electing RINOs whos actions do not match up with their words to quietly endorsing Democratic policies.
Yes silence is agreeing to Democrats. Like surgically & hormonily altering kids forever.
The list goes on that Republicans quietly endorse with their failure, laziness to fill out he ballot sitting on their kitchen counter.
Do us all a favor, if you didn’t vote. Don’t complain when little Johnny is now Sally.
Don’t complain about high gas prices.
Don’t complain about lack of affordable housing while illegals occupy the affordable housing.
Dont complain about no jobs when illegals are doing your job for less & not paying taxes.
Dont complain about high car insurance rates to pay for those who choose to not gave Insurance
Dont complain about fires that this government refuses to do preventative care for
Just do not complain at all. They enjoy this as much as the Democrat voter. And they enjoy the drama of being a “victim” just as much.
