"The obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh has been a rare voice arguing that the spill - he calls it ‘the leak' - is anything less than an ecological calamity, scoffing at the avalanche of end-is-nigh eco-hype.

But so far - while it's important to acknowledge that the long-term potential danger is simply unknowable for an underwater event that took place just three months ago - it does not seem to be inflicting severe environmental damage."
