Gulf of Mexico dead zone is big, but not record-breaking big

Grist: Oh yay. Just 5,840 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico are virtually bereft of life this summer. This years dead zone is much bigger than an official goal of 1,950 square miles, but not as bad as had been feared. Heavy spring rains inundated Mississippi River tributaries with fertilizers and other nutrients, and once those pollutants flowed into the Gulf, they led to the growth of oxygen-starved areas where marine life cant survive. But NOAA says things could have been worse. The agency had previously...
Dead Zone in Gulf of Mexico is Big, Though Not as Big as Feared

With this in mind, many researchers braced for the worst based on flood conditions in the Midwest that...

U.S. oil futures reached parity to European Brent on Friday for the first time in nearly three years, a sign new pipeline capacity is finally moving a glut of crude out of the U.S. Midwest. The gap, which before 2010 rarely widened to more than a few dollars, was $10 in early...
