1. Deep Water Horizon spilled 3.2 billion barrels of oil into the gulf. (per the article)
2. How many billion barrels of water are in the gulf?
3. How many naturally occurring barrels of oil/petroleum are in the gulf?
I ate raw oysters in Louisiana last weekend and I’m here to talk about it! They were grrrrreat!
The spill was sweet oil, not refined oil.
BP should have fought back and educated the public on the facts.
Sweet oil leaks into our oceans all the time.
Another great story!
I will add it to my favorites.
1. Environmentalists screamed that the Alaska Pipeline would interrupt caribou migration routes and cause the extinction of these beautiful animals. Later, it was found that the little electric heaters installed every 100 yards or so were beloved by the caribou! In the little warm spot surrounding the heaters, the caribou congregated, cavorted, and...mated, thus replenishing the herd to an increased population never anticipated by anyone.
2. Al Gore, scheduled to speak at a “Global Warming Conference”, gets snowed in at the airport and misses his flight.
3. The same Al Gore uses more electricity in his Tennessee mansion than the entire rest of the county PUT TOGETHER!
4. Warmists claim that “Weather is not Climate”, and even though it is freezing cold and miserable on land, the OCEANS are heating up and this will kill all wildlife in the seas. Meanwhile, the waters around Florida were getting so cold that the beloved manatees were dying! That is, until the manatees discovered that the effluvia from the Palm Beach Nuclear Power Plant made the water warmer, so they began to congregate, cavort, and MATE there, becoming a minor tourist attraction.
5. Environmentalist HATE logging and try to cordon off large swaths of forest to keep out any kind of management, resulting in HORRIBLE forest fires.
6. The Oyster Story!
Thanks! :-)
The oil doesn’t bother me as much as the corexit does.

The very obvious flaw in their reasoning is that petroleum is not an unnatural substance in the ocean.
The beaches of So. Cal used to be black with petroleum before the drilling platforms moved in to relieve the pressure below.

Always wondered if the oil company told Obama from the start, “If we can make a clean cut on the old pipe there is a very good chance we can seal the well, even though the rate of oil that escapes will increase for a very short time while we work on it.” But Obama made them use cobbled up repairs that didn’t work and the oil spilled for at least 2 extra months than it would have.
