And they want to do fracking in the Everglades and aroud Florida beaches! Imagine that! VoteTrumpOut2020 VoteOutTheGOP VoteOutHate

Another horrible nightmare. There is no planet B.

🤣😂🤣😂we are all so fucd. I don’t mean to laugh I just laugh when I’m freakin out.

WTF

CMON!! this shit again

You'd think if oil was so valuable people would take better care of it.

No words. Sadness. Anger. Pessimism.

But climate change is a myth...

Where is AOC when you need her?

What a horrible environmental disaster. Destroying this very earth...this beautiful planet.

'Second largest'... And the president didn't know? Big company for it to be unknown to him!!! There's after all one thing thicker than 'blood' and that's 'oil'... If it's blood in water, or oil 🤷 the story ends the same way!!! Let the president read that!

I wonder if he called Trump for advice?

Oh FFS! 🤦🏻‍♀️ As if the polar bears weren’t already fucked enough now this?! 2020’s been one absolute shitfest after another. I’m over this miserable hellscape & ready for an asteroid or a Noah sized flood to reset the matrix.

Sifill_LDF Because profit is way more important than the remaining nature!

when russia was great not some panzy nation

This HAPPENED on May 28, 2020 WHY is the world only hearing about this NOW? How long has realDonaldTrump known about this?

Sifill_LDF

уебан

I mean... Can't he do better?

Hello, anyone home? This is horrible.

I guess they’re wondering why it thawed. COVID? 2020? Sabotage?🤔

Ugh! Humans ruin everything!

Vlad Sad.

What we should do is play a soccer game with Putin's decapitated head. When it gets worn out, we can use Donald Trump's. There are so many despicable leaders in the world, our new ball house will have plenty of heads.

BS DEFUND NPR

Holy 💩thts gonna be environmental disaster. It was probably a lot more thn Putin disclosed.

LifeOnTheBeach7 How much more can this planet take right now.

Sifill_LDF You will pay for this

Maybe he can get those Russian bots to leave their Facebook 'posts' and help with cleanup efforts.

Gods not going to be happy about that,

I love the image here. It's a face that says, 'goddammit, I gotta call my puppet in the white house again to change the headline'

An environmental issue is easier to deal with than the human rights issue they have with inequality (human, civil and economic; mostly applicable to minorities) in the great nation of the USA. Great nation and good people caught in a system. May God helpis all.

Except for how bad it is for the enviroment - it would appear that like Trump. Putin is have a really really bad year. Or as the Queen would say Annus horribilis.

No surprise at the spill considering the pace of development in the Arctic. We are not being told the big picture that Russia has once the NW Passage is fully navigable. It will be as busy as the Panama Canal is 2-3 years. Yup.

Sifill_LDF Oh sht!!!! This is the year of the 200 plagues. Are we going to survive 2020 Where are the Science-deniers when you need them Still on the fence on climate change?

wonder. just perfect. I'm ready for humans to wipe themselves out, let the planet take over and heal. we suck

It is time for Russians to wise up and get rid of this guy.

2020....you a monster

He's should lick it up.

Sifill_LDF Locusts, pestilence, killer hornets, hurricanes, global warming. Whew this is a bumpy ride. Rev. 13:5

That's over 6.5 million gallons.

Well, there goes the extinction of the polar bears. Thx Vlad.

Sifill_LDF How is this a state of emergency? This is a GLOBAL emergency. Ugh. I hate white supremacy. It has not been kind to this earth, it’s is money hungry & it is VERY racist.

Welcome to the World of Capitalist Implosion, with no help from you even. And The Authoritarian Thing ... crashing and burning.

In Russia oil spills you!

BhavyaVSridhar

This is as bad as the pandemic.

Hmm Someone is angry with puppeteer putin!

Oh Lord, I know Trump is sad. It has got to be difficult for Trump, COVID 19, the protests and now his friend is dealing with an oil spill. Who will he turn to for advice, maybe Putin will get this solved quickly.

Sorry for the environment but not for Cladimir Putin.

IT WILL BE SWIFT BECAUSE I AM TIME AND THERE IS NO TIME, LET HIM WHO HAVE EYES RUN TO THE MOUNTAINS AND NEVER RETURN TO THE GROUND, THE GRAND CREATOR SAID.

Karma

That photo!!! Hahahaha!!!!

Putin is wrecking the world

Excuse to jack up fuel prices since they’ve been low

Whoever was in charge of that, should stay away from windows.

Oh FFS...

Headline: Not looking to be outdone...

O...M...G

JHFC, 2020. And the son of a bitch isn't even half over.

We are fucked

Greed is a powerful thing.

Trump says if Russia can spill oil, then America can spill oil!

World environment day

🖕🏽

Full moon tomorrow. I think there's also an eclipse.

Yeah and CLIMATE CHANGE IS A MYTH

Gee, unintended consequences of that non existent climate change perhaps?

That whole country can.....sigh...nevermind

So it’s probably 5x that amount

Knew this was coming for weeks!

NCapretz: I feel like I should tag you whenever I see something like this.
