Yes, there's always a little sport, but nothing compared to the animosity provoked by discussions of religion & science seen here. Of course,The Oil Drum is a different kind of blog and it specifically cultivates expert dialogue on a variety of energy related issues.

After reading the article about how methane in the gulf could create an oxygen depleted dead zone as well, it just seems that all we are doing is accelerating destruction on a global scale instead of beginning to stem it.
