We hear talk about the Prince William Sound (Exxon Valdez) incident still having an impact but I wonder how hard you have to look for the evidence there, too. I don't say this to simply minimize the impact of BP's latest disaster on the environment but to see if there really is a "forever" impact. Is there some point at which these things aren't really noticeable any more? There must be and I bet it is a lot sooner than most people think. Craig Jungers Moses lake, WA _www.nwkayaking.net_ (http://www.nwkayaking.net) For my 2 cents worth, I'd like to note that in my elementary chemistry class, a 10 degree rise in temperature was said to double the speed of a chemical reaction. This certainly implies that whatever is going to happen, will happen faster in a warm environment than a cold one. <snip> And, the kayaking won't be back until the odors are about gone. Oil. Chemicals. Dead fish and animals. Decaying vegetation. Sulfur producing marshes. What a mess.
