Millions died. Communism arose. And the economy was destroyed along with their agriculture. In 2002 China nuked them to erase all evidence. Really no impact at all.

What historically has had the greatest impact on the development of environmental policy?
The industrial revolution had a significant impact on the development of environmental policy, as it led to widespread pollution and degradation of natural resources, prompting the need for regulations to protect the environment. Additionally, high-profile environmental disasters such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill and Love Canal contamination have influenced the establishment of environmental policies and regulations. Public awareness and advocacy movements, such as the environmental movement in the 1960s and 1970s, have also played a key role in shaping environmental policy.

Will the ocean ever ba clean after the oil spill?
Oil continues to spill, so it is hard to predict how large an area will be affected. Some scientists have stated the environmental impact will take years to recovery. I don't believe any recovery can not begin to occur until the oil well is plugged, which BP has stated will be in August. Oil in the ocean tends to degrade and disperse in time. I believe it will be difficult to assess the permanent damage (or at least long lasting environmental impact) on the environment, as the concentration of pollutants becomes more dispersed.

How can you save sperm whales from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?
Perhaps a better question is, will the oil spill affect whales? My answer is given to the best of my knowledge as of May 27. There have been occasional sightings of whales in the Gulf of Mexico. But the population generally only go as far as the half way down the eastern side of Florida. As you can oil spill has been limited to the westen side of Florida, so far so good. In time, oil spills degrade and disperse. There may be no environmental impact on the whale population. On the other hand, there is significant environmental damage in marshes in Louisiana by the spill. See related links.
What key factors influence the severity of the impact of an oil spill?
