This is the most wonderful greenspin . You could go to work for the greens for big money. No laugh. I enjoyed reading your post.
What’s wrong with that. They are making progress.
I mean some progress. There needs to be cleaning still in the marshes and beaches.
Its the butterfly effect! LOL.
>>”...the destruction of billions of salmon and herring eggs.[7][22] “
Herring eggs? Maybe. Salmon eggs? No way. Salmon eggs are “laid” and “hatched” upstream, in fresh water; not in th ocean where the spill was.
Calls the credibility of the report into question.

Way-all, I jus seen that daggone ol storie about the dang ol pipe-a-ling that done got busted over there in Dollian or somefin and wonder if theys gonna let them ol photogs go voer there and shot the gooses and ducks.
[slaps forehead]....dang; THAT explains a lot.
I suggest they give ‘em all submarines and............................naw, never mind.
I can’t wait for Hollywood to green-light the first three films in your “GULF-BOMB” trilogy. Michael Bay will direct.
They had a similar experience with the Ixtoc spill. The oil vanished, or more likely dissolved and/or evaporated.
Bush and his Big Oil buddy's skimmed at night! They made MILIONS!!!
Anyone who has ignored a garden, yard or farm field for a year can tell you about mother nature's recuperative abilities.
love that graphic... but for the cnn cameras, you need to zoom in on the can, crank up the magnification to where a 10” pipe is shown at fullscreen size on a libtards 65” super-hi-def plasma screen, and run the loop 24/7 for max ‘effect’...
Good job.
Exactly what BP wanted. Hide the evidence by using Corexit.
Probably vaporized or is too deep.
Is the fact that we're not being bombarded with any more satellite images of the slick and photos of mud soaked birds an indication of the LACK of oil or CENSORSHIP?
The truth is out there, just where the f*ck is it?
I posted this back on June 1 as some background history on these things for those getting all hysterical. Not to say the BP spill isn’t bad, but it is not the end of fishing, tourism, etc. in the Gulf forever as folks were saying. But note the comments on the dispersent at the end.

But although Ixtoc was a big disaster, it did not develop into the long-term catastrophe that scientists initially thought was inevitable.
“This is not to say there were no consequences. Just that the evidence is that these are not as dramatic as we feared,” says Luis Soto, a marine biologist from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. “After about two years the recuperation was well on the way.”
Wes Tunnell, now at the Texas Harte Research Institute, took samples before and after the oil arrived in Texas that showed an immediate 80% drop in the number of organisms living between the grains of sand that provide food for shore birds and crabs.
“Sampling a couple of years after the spill indicated the populations were back to normal,” he says. Six years after Ixtoc 1 exploded it was hard to find any evidence of the oil, he says. “It is rather baffling to us all. We don’t really know where it went.”
But although their message is hopeful, those who studied the Ixtoc disaster warn against assuming the gulf is automatically heading for another quick comeback.
Ixtoc 1 stood in just 50 metres (165ft) of water, while Deepwater Horizon was drilling 1,500 metres below the surface. It is also likely that the quantity of chemical dispersants being used today is significantly larger, potentially blocking the work of the oil-eating micro-organisms.
Since the boats are there, maybe they can get busy killing dolphins — http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2557155/posts
