Yes, Imagine. Do you really think man deserves to inherit this World? I
understand there are more good people than bad, it's just those who
control this World now care nothing for the poor, sick and elderly much
less for the animals and enviornment. I hope Justice will be swift and
exacting.
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," says the Bible. That doesn't mean what most people think it does. The word translated as "meek" is the Greek word praus, which in ancient times didn't mean "weak-willed, passive, mild." Rather, it referred to great power that was under rigorous control. For example, soldiers' warhorses were considered praus. They heeded the commands of their riders, but were fierce warriors that fought with tireless fervor. In this spirit, Scorpio, I'm predicting you're about to get very "meek": offering your tremendous force of will and intelligence in disciplined service to a noble cause.

Saying scientists support your claim is just an argument from authority the sad part being the only scientist I see mentioned by name is Vladimir Parr, a theoretical physicist NOT a climatologist.
How much spilled oil does it take to make a new Ice Age?

I fail to see how oil even could start an ice age. You are aware that oil, as it emerges, it usually in liquid form right? And that the ocean is extremely massive right? Don't get me wrong I don't want to see the ecosystem hurt any more than it has been but to suggest that some oil spills are going to start an ice age seems downright silly.

I'm not doubting that oil could have some effect on the climate, but there are so many factors effecting the climate that I doubt the oil spill will have a noticeable effect and even if it does I doubt that it will be as noticeable as an ice age. The claim is a sensationalist one and while I'd like to see pollution diminished I don't think we need to resort to free mongering or sensationalist claims.
The oil spills do have an effect, particularly on the ecosystem of the gulf, but to suggest they're going to bring about an ice age still seems silly, even if every last drop of oil evaporated into the atmosphere.

The Gulf Stream-European climate myth
The panic is based on a long held belief of the British, other Europeans, Americans and, indeed, much of the world's population that the northward heat transport by the Gulf Stream is the reason why western Europe enjoys a mild climate, much milder than, say, that of eastern North America....We now know this is a myth, the climatological equivalent of an urban legend.

I believe it is supposed to be that the boundary layer between the very fast moving warm stream (4mph) and the colder sea is disrupted as it passes through the oil - this causes it to break up and meader about, never reaching Europe.
