One thing that's great about this era of data visualization is the abundance of ways there are to look at data interactively. Here's a look at the largest oil spills since 1901. These are actual spills and blowouts and don't include equally catastrophic events like ongoing seepage or waste, which has taken such a toll on the Ecuadorean Amazon. Still, these are a bunch of black marks on the Earth and a reminder that it's time we reduced our consumption of fossil fuels such as oil before switching to alternative renewable green fuels.
