I have not seen a single news item about the speed that the oil in the Gulf is being consumed by microbes. University studies have confirmed the overall rule that the half-life of petroleum in a warm body of water is 40-60 days. Since the spill started over half the oil has been eaten. In another 120 days, 7/8 of the oil left will be consumed by microbes.
Dispersants have moved the oil from a 2-D surface to a 3-D volume. NOAA finds “oil plumes” 1,000 to 2,000 feet deep that have maximum concentrations of 1-2 PPM. This would be legal for drinking in fresh water. Most of the oil is trapped in a giant eddy. Long before any of it gets picked up in the loop current and swings around Florida it will only be measurable in Parts per Billion.

Has any more gotten to the surface? I would guess on the surface it eventually evaporates. Baby oil or tanning lotion in a pool probably does that and some gets on the side of the pool.
Meanwhile drama queen, AH, Democrat and liar Charlie Crist wants to ban any drilling. Stupid suntanned sissy.
