The Associated Press: Major study charts long-lasting oil plume in Gulf.

This article details the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution research verifies the findings of the scientists from The University of South Florida. The idea that all that

chemical mess had just evaporated or been burned off, etc. is patently stupid. the effects on the growth of the fish in the Gulf will be major.

Perhaps they were trying to prevent embarrassing BP when they are saying 75% of the oil is just gone. Yeah, we have an idea of where it went.

Shale gas comes with lots of problems.

75% evaporated and dispersed? No way!

It's BP's Oil

I'm appalled that President Obama seems to have accepted an estimate from a group of scientists that 75% of the oil from the BP Gusher is either evaporated or dispersed. This is sheer BP propaganda in my opinion.

 

We don't know how many and where the plumes are, and neither do we know how toxic the dispersant is and will be for decades. My understanding is they don't test for the dispersant in the fish when they are evaluating them. I also know that there are going to be a lot of workers very sick from working with the oil and dispersant. All you have to do is listen to what happened to the workers who cleaned up Exxon Valdez.

It is a scandal to read this "study." It wasn't worth $2.00, much less $200,000.
