“I read last night that it could spew for 30 years before it is exhausted and if so and at that rate, that pretty much wraps it up for the Atlantic Ocean.”

Yup. One estimate says the pocket holds one billion barrels. At a rate of 100,000 a day, it would take 37.5 years for it to empty. The Atlantic would be gone for sure. It could cause the collapse of the entire bio-sphere of the planet.

If the bio-sphere of the planet goes it might affect the ACME volcanic seismic pseudo-tectonic replacement material, possibly generating quantum anti-matter and reversing gravity, causing the Earth to self-convert into a black hole which would then swallow our entire solar system.

Clearly, someone's ass needs to be kicked, after a round of golf.

Based on what facts and understanding of how oil affects the oceans, and the amount of oil relative to the volume in question do you base that presumption ?
