The information obtained by us online is from a number of websites, thus there is a need to find out the credibility of the information.
The website "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1283774/Sarah-Palin-BP-oil-spill-fault-environmentalists-wouldnt-let-companies-drill-land.html#ixzz1o49glmOY" that speaks of companies being at fault for the oil spill is reliable because it is directly from the British daily news.
Similarly, websites like http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/14/us/14agency.html?_r=1&hp is also directly lifted from the New York Times and thus can be regarded as a credible source.
However, there is a site http://www.theoildrum.com/node/7363 that shows the graph for oil production which we feel may not be completely reliable because as mentioned, the graph the author actually found are incomplete and inaccurate and that, she plotted her own. Thus, the graphs may not be credible and the information obtained and observed would not be accurate. Therefore, our conclusion on oil spills may not be totally believable.
However, we strongly believe that most of the information is true. Besides the origin of most websites, which we have found to be reliable, the facts regarding oil spills are already known by us ourselves. Facts like oil spills being caused by overproduction or due to lack of punishment imposed on excessive production of oil can be found on the daily Singapore newspaper. In all, oil spills have already become a global issue which everyone knows, thus these information we have obtained is not surprising and we would not doubt them.
