NASA's MODIS instrument, aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites, captured images of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The spill began on April 20, 2010, following the rig's explosion.

A short video provides a space-based view of the burning rig and the ensuing oil slick through May 24, 2010. The slick, appearing grayish-beige, changed due to weather, ocean currents, and chemical dispersants.

Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and former Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, was interviewed at the International DeGrowth Conference in Barcelona (March 25-29, 2010). He posits that economic growth is not necessary for a good life, and that living well without it is feasible.

The conference discussed not just stabilizing, but actively shrinking the economy—a more challenging but achievable goal requiring significant societal changes. A more in-depth speech by Dr. Victor is available on EarthSayers.tv.
