“settled science” is an oxymoron
good tagline! LOL!
Actually I don’t. You see, I don’t worship animals or fish of the sea...
When I see oil being pumped to refineries, I see a better life for children, an easier life for the poor of the world, happiness as families can visit exotic places never before on the scale we can now, a free flow of information throughout the world that only a cheap source of energy can bring, etc.
What I see is a tragic accident that some are attempting to use as a catalyst for their own agenda of starving the world for the energy it needs out of some type of self-dislike of God’s creation.
What type of gruesome pictures would one have if the petroleum products this oil brings were no longer available to feed, transport, clothe, and protect the humanity of the world..?
You have decided to use the pictures resulting from this spill in a crusade while ignoring the fact that without this source of energy the pictures of the world we would have, if the technology without oil would have even been available, would be unsettling to say the least.
Yeah, perhaps that cubic football field of his could serve as a mass grave for the gulf wildlife. Some people should realize that you don’t have to be an anti-business lefty or a moonbat greenie to condemn a renegade, fascist, criminal corporation like BP.
BTW, maybe some of the Obots have been contracted out to Obama’s buddies and they’re doing a stint as BPbots. I notice the same Alinsky tactics...
‘settled science’
Has become or always has been an oxymoron.
So it is just — it is possible, but it just strikes me that there’s so much water and so much dilution that this is an extreme problem. Most of this methane gas is coming to the surface. Some of it is dissolving in the water column, but it is being dispersed over a fairly large area, incredible.
Remember, this well, if you were standing back a mile, looks something like a fireplug spewing out, so think about all the water that is in that water column. And that water doesn’t stay there, of course. Ocean currents move the water away from the well.
So, there is an incredible amount of water out there just in a square mile that’s a half-a-mile deep, unbelievable, billions and billions and billions of gallons of water, and so I am not terribly concerned. I think it is something we need to look at, but the dissolved oxygen levels so far taken from a number of cruises have not found alarmingly low levels of D.O. at depth. BLITZER: David Kessler, I don’t know if you him. He is a professor at Texas A&M University. He is quoted as saying this. And I will put it up on the screen.
“This is most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history.”
You think he is right?
OVERTON: He may know a lot more about that than I do. I’m not a methane expert, but there is certainly an awful lot of carbon going into the water column. There’s no question about it. There is just an awful lot of water out there.
And so it sounds like to me it is a bit of an overstatement.
BLITZER: What would the methane potentially do if it were to continue to come up in huge numbers to sea life, for example?
OVERTON: Well, it is not very toxic. What it does is bacteria will degrade the methane and use up oxygen in the degradation, so — and this is what I was referring to when you — when we measure the amount of dissolved oxygen at depth.
And, so far, those measurements have not showed significant lowering of the dissolved oxygen, maybe 10, 20, 30 percent, but not down to zero, so most calculations show that it is probably not going to be reduced to zero. You have to have a D.O. concentration, it is three or four or five parts per million and at depths, and it would have to go near zero to produce dead zones.

Biofuels have caused more destruction to the planet than the people in the GOM will ever see, (thanks Al) including this oil spill. When those who demonize big oil let me know when the life and animal species in and around the Gulf of Mexico has become extinct and that the destuction of land or sea is so complete that it can never heal itself or return to its former state, - the most ‘successful biofuel crops’ have done this and more - then we can talk.
I wish it would hurry up and explode then, I’m having a real bad day ...
Amen on the BTEX, it’s also coming down in rain now ...

Who owns BP?

A big problem now is the dispersant, Corexit, they have been spraying in the water...in excessive amounts. They’re trying the hide the oil with this stuff. It’s a known carcinogen and it’s banned in Europe.
Nalco makes it..you can google and find out more, but recently someone’s blog said,
“BP owns stock in NALCO. Goldman Sachs is part owner of NALCO and have been since 2003. NALCO also has ties to the Chicago climate exchange. Who else has ties to this? Gore, Soros, Emanuel, Buffet and Obama.
Connects the dots here. Once you do that you will understand why they won’t stop using Corexit, and why they do not seem to be in a hurry to stop the spill.”

“Actually I don’t. You see, I don’t worship animals or fish of the sea...”
Okay...so you don’t care about creatures of the sea, the birds, or any of the wildlife who are affected by the spill....one of my main points regarding Corexit is also HUMAN life! I suppose you don’t care about that either.
Or not.

Reade up & watch the two videos, unless of course you chose to only believe what the anti-oil bunch is saying.
You still don’t get it! I’m not anti oil...I’m anti Obama! What has taken this admistration so long to even START to clean up the spill?
And then they allow BP to be completely in charge...to spray millions of gallons of Corexit with no concern for life! And the Coast Guard is going right along with it while Obama is telling everyone to visit the Gulf...the water’s fine! And sheeple like you believe him.!
Oh for crying out loud...you sent me info on Corexit put out by Nalco. Do you really think it’s worth my time to read propaganda?
You know, I am really starting to wonder if you don’t just work for a competitor of the manufacturer of Corexit....
You seem to want to believe and/or spread the worst about this dispersant.
Without this dispersant we would have virtually all the oil on the surface, wouldn’t we and it would be much more visible to the anti-oil propagandists.
OR you are attempting to masguerade your anti-oil sentiments as being anti-obama on this spill.
It is one or the other, right?
The world is such a dangerous place that none of us will get out alive.
