Gulf Oil Slick

Glenn · 07-06-2010, 02:47 AM

In the last few days there have been credible reports from Houston, New Orleans, Florida, Tennesee, Ohio, and South Carolina of an oily substance coming down in the air and in the rain. Crops are dying. It's not just in the Gulf water anymore. This chemical rain is not from Corexit in the waters of the gulf. It is coming from the aerial spraying by thr Air Force of Corexit and other dispersants. Also see Dr. Riki Ott on Utube.

Credible reports from where? Do you have a link? A link that ISN'T a YouTube video? Do you have link to this on any of the following:

Scientific American
New Scientist
Nature
Science News

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.

Cheers

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.

Aj, this might be the source. As best I can tell, folks are taking a local news story and weaving theories in to a new story.

On the news tonight, it was stated that the oil spill has leaked across all across the gulf states, and is in Louisiana's famous lake. Boaters are now pulling their sailboats and powerboats out of the water. There are 50 million migrating birds that are now disoriented due to the spill. BP is paying people to try to get some of the migrating birds to change their eating habits. This makes me sick. I hope and pray that BP goes bankrupt after all is said and done.

I just want to vent about this Oil Slick or catastrophe going on in the gulf right now. It's ridiculous!! The earth is pretty fucked. Human beings that only care about profits can suck it and mean people suck. Can't they do something? All the technology in the world and they haven't figured out anything?! Golf Balls to cover up the hole?!! Are you dipshits fucking kidding me!!! Ugh I hate poeple...Ok i'm done. Thanks for listening. lol

BP board game foreshadows Gulf disaster
eBay.com

In BP Offshore Oil Strike, the first player to earn $120,000,000 wins.
LONDON -- An obscure BP-themed board game in which players aim to avoid rig disasters has become an unexpected hit at a British toy museum.

BP Offshore Oil Strike was released in the early 1970s and allows up to four players to explore for oil, build platforms and construct pipelines. The first player to earn $120,000,000 wins.

Its "hazard cards" include "Blow-out! Rig damaged. Oil slick clean-up costs. Pay $1million."

BP announced Monday that it has spent $3.12 billion dealing with the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The game was recently donated to the House on the Hill Toy Museum in Stansted, Essex.

"The parallels between the game and the current crisis... are so spooky," museum owner Alan Goldsmith told Britain's Metro newspaper. "The picture on the front of the box is so reminiscent to the disaster with the stormy seas, the oil rig and an overall sense of doom.

"I was just knocked over by how relevant this game is, despite being made some 35 years ago, to BP’s troubles today."

Goldsmith said the game is worth about £75 ($115).
