Ocean currents will take this oil up and around the Atlantic
Check out the BP live cam, they are lying through their teeth. This is getting worse and worse not better and will go up and around the Atlantic! Look at the video depicting the way they expect this to travel up the East Coast. New Hi Res live cam of the growing oil disaster This dwarfs what they admit including the countless monstrous underwater plumes BP still denies exist.
An independent scientific effort, funded by NOAA, has discovered "shocking" amounts of oil underwater, huge plumes that range up to three miles by ten miles wide, and about 300 feet deep, within many columns of the water in the Gulf of Mexico.
Scientists are finding enormous oil plumes in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, including one as large as 10 miles long, 3 miles wide and 300 feet thick. The discovery is fresh evidence that the leak from the broken undersea well could be substantially worse than estimates that the government and BP have given.
The plumes are depleting the oxygen dissolved in the gulf, worrying scientists, who fear that the oxygen level could eventually fall so low as to kill off much of the sea life near the plumes. Dr. Joye said the oxygen had already dropped 30 percent near some of the plumes in the month that the broken oil well had been flowing. “If you keep those kinds of rates up, you could draw the oxygen down to very low levels that are dangerous to animals in a couple of months,” she said Saturday. “That is alarming.” shocking lakes of oil being hiden in the gulf with poisonous dispersant
Dispersal of Oil Means Cleanup to Take Years, Official Says That is laughingly naive and overly optimistic!
White House: BP estimates of oil leak into Gulf will no longer be trusted Too late the damage is done!
World Oceans Day clouded by oil spill
We are starting to hear how horrific this will be on the environment and the very basic chain of life in the sea we all depend upon. However it is not coming from the Government or BP who continues to lie about everything. Once again I have to reiterate what we have discussed many times: As you know, this is horrific and barely beginning. First a scientist from woods hole expects this deluge of hidden destruction to hit Texas and Mexico. Actually it has hit the shores of Texas in the form of oil covered birds. It will get into the Gulf Stream and go around the world. I was ridiculed when I first said that but no one is laughing any more.
Scientist now believe 50 million gallons of oil might have erupted from this underground volcano to date and don't forget the deadly soup mixed with over a million gallons of death they call dispersant. I refuse to believe I was not the only one appalled when BP first said the so called leak was only 5000 gallons a day when I thought that was per minute. I mean come on!
The Coast Guard said there are hundreds of thousands of small oil slicks in the Gulf. It is the numerous unseen undersea oil plumes and the destruction of corral reef I worry about. It is the basic building blocks of sea life necessary to sea birds, shell fish, and the livelihoods of those in the gulf and around the country and soon the world I worry about.
Seeing the damage and knowing what is to come I refuse to Obama believed it himself when he said the Gulf will be back better than ever. I just heard they found a giant underwater oil lake NOAA is monitoring that is so big if a hurricane hits it, it will paint the entire gulf coast with black death and destruction. At first I thought it absurd but I am hearing the Russian idea of dropping a nuke on it might be the best Idea now but it would take too long to prepare. Think of the ramifications of all this. Better than ever, get real! A million gallons a day ant this can go on till Xmas, that's 1/4 billion gallons of oil plus the gas plus the millions of gallons of poisonous dispersant plus the junk shot and everything else! Shackle them morons!

I'm left with not many words. I get so pissed that this thing is spewing what could be an ocean killer amount of oil and they talk of how they will make it all better.
We were screwed even before this happened and now me thinks/knows for sure now we are screed for sure now.
Is this the incident that will lead to a world wide depression?
Yeah we were Tom and I am pissed too! We are screwed primarily because of Bush and Cheney's deregulation. The entire world should be concerned about this because it is going to screw3 the world. Frigging American corporatocracy! Capitalism run amok!
A couple of things of note and I hope this doesn't get too long winded.
It's been my experience that oil and hydraulic fluids break down as they age forming a gross slimy scum under the surface. The only way to get rid of that is to vacuum it out for processing. And in my work that was on a very small scale of a couple of thousand gallons.
We know that only 2 parts per billion will kill most living organisms except for the bacteria that eats the oil. We also know that when the bacteria eats the oil it depletes the oxygen causing a dead ocean.
To use a nuke on this would be absurd. It would create a bubble of extreme heat that would fuse the ocean floor a good thing, but when the bubble collapsed it could fracture the ocean floor and then you would have radioactive oil. Think about trying to clean that mess. As a visual image think of the underground nuke tests of the 50s and 60s where the ground bubbled up and then collapsed. The Russian well was a gas well on land not a mile under the ocean.
My best guess is that if the relief wells don't work then they'll have to build some type of containment system around the whole area because (and I'm guessing here) the ocean floor is fractured somewhere at bottom. And I'm talking about something the size of a small football stadium. I hope I'm wrong.
Most Scientist have now despite BP have come out and said Top Kill did more harm and no good. The thing they were worrying about happened. Because of the sub-grade casing used, the pressure of forcing down Mud most likely made the pipe split. Without seeing it, as no one can, we have no idea to what extent the casing is broken. I say this because there's oil emanating from the Ocean floor itself. This is now being called the Doomsday scenario.
Along with this mess two more rigs have been discovered leaking. They think small in comparison but admit they've been leaking for at least six years. Yes, I'm really depressed.
Hope you don't mind, Jim, but your comment on my blog was excellent so I posted it on my FB page!! :o)
Very good Demeur! You know, the Russian nuke thought was bandied about day one and I thought it blasphemous and absurd because of the damage it would cause under the sea.
The mere fact that is is still a thought tells you how desperate the situation is. It was dismissed with the excuse it would take too long to prepare on the program I was watching.
The dead spots I have written about in the past so was a prime concern from the get go. There already were monstrous ones all over the world including no only around Somalis because of nuke and chemical dumping but Hawaii, all over the pacific, Naragansett Bay, and all over the world.
The massive amounts of oil mixed with the massive amounts of dispersant used to hide the oil under the sea are killing corral, sea life, and the basic building blocks of sea life.
Think of the chain effect, remember where life came from.It is not the size of the spill it is where it is! This will be life changing and those feeble scum are still lying about it. They could care less.
Yeah this is not good and they are still frigging lying and down playing it. Obama was more right than he knew when at West Point he said we are facing a biblical future.
I forgot to tell Demeur that the scientists have been thinking for a while now that some of the oil showing up where it is seems to be indicating they may have cracked the sea bed. Not good!
All right Karen, Great! I will have to stop by and see what I said. Take care!
