If you can see it from orbit - it’s not a “spill”!
First things first, we need to frame this topic a little better. Framing the debate is a tactic that, if done well can give a decided advantage to one side or the other.[1] In this case the word “spill” has been used to describe this environmental catastrophe. I believe this term has been used to trivialize the extent of the problem, to minimize public perception, and used as a delaying tactic. I think that BP thinks that a “spill” can be ignored or covered up – like it was in Nigeria.[2]
