What about the oil slick?

Aren't they going to burn it off, so that instead of having some greased ducks
along the shore of Chandeleur, Breton or any of the many other swampy islands,
there will be massive respiratory issues with the folk of Gulfport, Mobile,
Pensacola, maybe even Atlanta and any other downwind populated areas?
I hope the ensuing legal repercussions will awaken those greedy exploitative
folk at British Petroleum to be more careful.


This is worse than anything previous. We may not survive this.

Maybe all the carbon based soot will present some interesting
reflective conditions and unexpected reception... stay tunedg


This is more crude than has ever been spilled before. It is in an eddy
off the Gulf Stream, part of the main thermohaline circulation current
around the planet. Specific gravity and salinity are critical to the
THC's ability to regulate global temperatures.

This will also screw up a major part of the marine food chain.
