...and was part of a legal team that represented BP in lawsuits stemming from the nation’s worst oil spill, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, ...Or as I like to call it The Great Fish Food Disaster!
Oil is fish food.
Nature healed what man inflicted in 1979 Gulf spill Read more: June 10, 2010
(the Palm Beach Post has removed this article) " "A lot of the fishermen around here will tell you that the fish never came back,'' says Vega Morales. ``They'll say, `Oh, in the old days, you could catch fish with your hat, it was so easy.' That's how we are, always talking about the one that got away. But the truth is, after maybe nine months or so, it was back to normal." " (Ixtoc 1)
"Soto, who followed the fish and shrimp population off Mexico closely, found to his surprise that for most species the numbers had returned to normal within two years."

Oil Cleanup Expert Comments on Gulf Spill
"Every year 2 million to 12 million tons of oil naturally seep from the ocean floor and into the sea. In fact, many of the deposits in the Gulf of Mexico were discovered by observing these oil seeps, which is why the hydrocarbon degraders are everywhere, waiting for their “dinner” or fuel. Fishermen should be prepared for the extra catches that are coming because after every major oil spill there’s an explosion of local fish."
"But before a fish explosion can happen, the microorganisms need to be able to get to the oil and digest it. Since oil and water don’t mix, adding a dispersant will accelerate the breakdown of the oil, making it more available to the microorganisms."
---------------------------------------------------------
1979's Ixtoc oil well blowout in Gulf of Mexico has startling parallels to current disaster
"Even with those obstacles, fishers still managed to amass an impressive catch in 1979 -- when oil was gushing into the Gulf."
"Researchers in Campeche found shrimping that year enjoyed a high. The total tonnage of seafood caught in the Gulf of Mexico grew by 5.9 percent compared with the previous 12 months, and octopus capture in the Bay of Campeche beat the previous record by 50 percent."
"Tunnell's follow-up research into life near Texas beaches showed that organisms whose populations were apparently reduced by the massive spill replenished themselves within a few years."

I’m intruiged by your post. Can you expand a little more precisely on what your point is?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’d love to hear some clarification on your statement as well.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
The words reveal the MSM slime: anti-climate.
The only climate those journalism majors understand is the adjustment on the A/C thermostat.
We are onto you, oh low IQ lib arts everything else is too complex majors.

To be simple, there are other potential issues about health and the environment than changing global temperatures. I hope he handles those issues.
