Eighty-seven days. That's how long it took BP to end the spill at their Deepwater Horizon oil rig in 2010. Yesterday, a massive natural gas blowout at the Aliso Canyon Storage Facility run by SoCalGas in California surpassed that mark – and the fix remains weeks away.

The SoCalGas blowout at Aliso Canyon is a climate catastrophe. Every day it spews 110,000 pounds of methane – a greenhouse gas 87 times more potent over 20 years than carbon dioxide. Despite claims from SoCalGas that the leaking gas was safe, residents soon reported nausea, nosebleeds, headaches, rashes, shortness of breath, burning eyes, sore throats, sick pets and more, and over 10,000 residents have had to evacuate as the gas found to contain toxins like mercaptan, benzene and even hydrogen sulfide.
