5/27-The Environment is Just Fine!!

The biggest headlines may start life as small as microbes. Writer HUMBERTO FONTOVA demands honesty in all matters; politics, which is why his articles and books infuriate the owners of his Communist homeland, Cuba, as well as the environment, prompting him to ridicule attempts to paint last year's BP oil spill in the Gult of Mexico, as "our worst environmental disaster." In fact, Fontova tells Sara and Barry that now, one year later, there simply are no disastrous consequences visible. Moreover, far from a "fossil fuel", petroleum may be natural and organic; therefore bio-degradable and, in the case of the spilled BP oil, was literally and joyously "eaten" by microbes that lap it all up; lovingly cleaning our environment in return for a free oil feast.
