While the anti-US orgy has concluded in Bali and all the delegates are flying home in their private jets, the US Coast Guard has arrived in Korea to provide assistance for a real man made environmental crisis that Al Gore and no one else seems to care about:

U.S. specialists began aiding a massive sea and land battle Friday to try to contain and clean up 2.7 million gallons of crude oil from South Korea’s worst oil spill.

The team of U.S. Coast Guard experts arrived Thursday to aid the hundreds of vessels involved in containing the spill. An expert from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also is assisting.
