CounterSpill

On Monday, disaster plans by Cairn Energy were released by the Greenland government that tout the ability to solve spills at speeds up to 10,000 barrels per day.

Bloomberg reports Greenland's Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum placed the nation's worst case scenario at 5,000 barrels per day. But, with "cooperation in the global network," officials say the oil plan could handle double the spillage.

In an online video, Japanese government officials are shown dismissing the health and safety concerns of Fukushima residents at a townhall meeting that took place on July 19. 

According to a source quoted by popular blog BoingBoing.net, the subtitled translation is verified and was filmed by anonymous members of Japanese children's advocacy group, SaveChild.net.

In June, at least 330 square miles of China's Bohai Bay were covered with oil due to leaks from an offshore drilling rig. However, sources claim the water wasn't the only thing covered with something crude. 

According to the AP, it took almost a month for the Chinese government to make a public announcement regarding the spill, a delay that some are calling a cover-up tactic. 

On Tuesday, newly formed environmental group Coal is Killing Kids (CKK) disguised itself as Peabody Energy Corp., the self-proclaimed world's largest coal company, to launch a campaign called 'Coal Cares'.

The part-hoax, part-satire campaign features a tongue-in-cheek argument against renewable energy sources, touting the dangers of "violent" solar energy and how wind energy could prove disastrous:

Now that Japan's nuclear crisis level has risen to 7, the highest rating possible, media outlets around the world have been quick to compare the ongoing emergency at Fukushima with the disaster that struck Chernobyl in April 1986.

Up until this point, Chernobyl was the only disaster to be labeled a 7, which entails a “major release of radioactive material with widespread health and environmental effects," according to International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES).

After delivering a $28 million fine to Chevron for an oil spill that occurred earlier this month, Brazil is threatening more action due to the oil company allegedly falsifying and withholding information on that spill. 

Magda Chambriard of Brazil's National Oil Agency said Chevron impeded disaster response by editing video images pictures of oil spill damage and releasing "false information" on available cleanup technology.
