The EVU helps me a little to understand the scale of the numbers. It’s also misleading though, because of course it’s just a quantity of oil. It doesn’t really take into consideration the relative impacts of the oil on those two very different ecosystems. My understanding is that the Gulf of Mexico is a much more interdependent and sensitive system and the relative impact of every litre of oil there will be much higher.

My worst fear is that this somehow does become the standard to measure the scale of the gulf disaster. Its a very concrete depiction. thanks Sherwin
