>> I suppose it's worth mentioning that oil seepage is nothing new to the
industrial age. This article (
http://www.mms.gov/omm/pacific/enviro/seeps1.htm ) is just one example of
the historical seepage of oil and natural gas from petroleum deposits
underground (and under water).

It might even have been slowed over the recent past because we've depleted
so many of those deposits. A case could be made that oil drilling has
actually reduced oil slicks (barring the odd catastrophe). Even I can
remember walking on the beach at Santa Monica and seeing tar patches that my
grandparents explained had washed in from the ocean.

There is even a well-known tourist destination in Los Angeles that
celebrates oil seepage: La Brea Tar Pits.
