Because I'm a relatively impatient AND because I have grown sadly accustomed to unsinkable rubber duckies* I thought I would Google Corexit rain to see if any *actual* credible reports were to be had.
The first two pages of results either link to Prison Planet (not exactly what I would call a reliable source) or Above Top Secret (also not reliable) or are references TO those sites. In other words, if this is happening there is not--in the entire community of chemists, geophysicists, physicists, material scientists or environmental scientists no one has reported on this. SciAm appears to be unaware of it, as does Science News, New Scientist, or Nature. Those four comprise the most reliable scientific reporting available to the general public. I find it absolutely incredible that the scientific community seems unaware of this.
Keep in mind that scientists from the various involved disciplines have been monitoring this incident from the moment it started and have been providing reliable--if not as exciting or breathless--reportage on the matter. Yet, here we have yet another breathless claim that the doom is upon us and yet there's no corroboration outside of conspiracy theory sites. The thing is, in two weeks, they (and the unsinkable rubber duckies that spread these rumours about) will move on to something else.

If there is a credible report--credible by what standard? Yours? Riki Ott's? The scientific community? If you are going to say that there's a credible report, don't you think that you would enhance your own credibility if you provided a link?
I recall you also saying that there were credible reports that any minute now, a giant methane bubble would burst under the Gulf creating a tsunami that would kill untold numbers of people living along the coast. No methane bubble, no tsunami, I presume that those hundreds of thousands or millions of people are still--on the whole--alive. So is there anything you can produce to corroborate this credible report? Thanks in advance.
