In the article A Hole In The World “The Bp disaster reveals the risk in imagining that we have complete command over nature,” by Naomi Klein, she discusses how BP does not take credit for the oil spills they created and that the oil is endangering species in the water. An Oiler named Matt O' Brien believed that “We don’t need to hear this any more. We just don’t trust you”. This means that oilers are tired of hearing that Bp will figure out how to fix the spills in time. The oilers always hear how things will be changed, but now they no longer believe BP or any one else who say there will be a change in oil. Oilers are the school’s unfortunate name for its sports team.
A huge problem with oil is once it hits marshes there is no way to get the oil safely out of. This also in dangers the species that live in the water because the species can’t survive in oil. Klein mentioned “The larvae of countless species for which the marsh is a spawning ground-shrimp, crab, oysters and fin-fish-will be poisoned.” This affects the species and can possible kill them if they get poisoned. This problem could have been prevented once the oil spilled, but instead of doing something about it BP chose to only say they would do something, but never did.
