NYT/Environmentalists Confused about Oil Slick's Vanishing...

Biologists find 'dead zones' around BP oil spill in Gulf | Environment | The Guardian

Scientists are confronting growing evidence that BP's ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico is creating oxygen-depleted "dead zones" where fish and other marine life cannot survive.

In two separate research voyages, independent scientists have detected what were described as "astonishingly high" levels of methane, or natural gas, bubbling from the well site, setting off a chain of reactions that suck the oxygen out of the water. In some cases, methane concentrations are 100,000 times normal levels.

Other scientists as well as sport fishermen are reporting unusual movements of fish, shrimp, crab and other marine life, including increased shark sightings closer to the Alabama coast.

Not suprising. The increased biological activity from the oil eating microbes could cause this as well. This is similar to the hypoxic zones caused by algae in the LI Sound, and that is due to high nitrogen in the water.

The difference is that these dead zones should be temporary, as the source of the food/methane has been stopped. The LI sound's problems are related to WWTP effluent, and pose a different task.

No!... It's the End of Life in the Gulf as we Know it and it's Big Fat Bald White Oil's Fault!...

And Boooooooooooooooooooooooshes Fault too!

:)

peace...

So all the people down in the gulf should quit complaining and get back to life as normal? Easy as that?

Then what are you saying? I'm failing to see your point. Is because some of the oil has disappeared faster then expected means that this issue is done with now? What is your point?

It's not my Job to make you Capable of Understanding what you Read... Or Retaining it.

Read the Thread again... As many times as it takes. :lol:

Read it again, still doesn't explain your point. You don't have one, do you?

Point might be that this isn't the apocolyptic event that people thought it would be. Point might be that everything has been a bit exaggerated.

Another point is that you libs are angry at just the claim that this isn't a huge disaster. Could it be that, if it isn't, it would kinda ruin many of your arguments? I mean... you hoped that this would end drilling period.
So don't claim you don't want this to be a disaster. If you didn't, you would say "I hope so" when someone claims it isn't a huge disaster.

Lying hypocrites.

Youre an idiot. Give your opinion and leave it at that. Dont create something that doesnt exist.

So, this isn't a huge disaster? Weren't you crying how Obama wasn't fixing the problem fast enough? I would love to live in your world where you can freely jump to both sides of the fence and make your case as it best fits your agenda.

This is STILL a huge disaster for the environment, the region and the people that live there. Stop with the blaming bullshit and the I told you so's. Be glad that it seems that the hole is closed and the real cleanup is beginning.

Did you read the article? They are looking for oil to cleanup and can't find it. That would mean, dumbass, that this isn't as big a disaster as originally thought.

So you were wrong in being mad at Obama for not fixing it faster?
So the people in the gulf who have suffered tremendous hardships since this happened are faking it?
Everything is cool down there now?

No.. not saying that. There is oil down there... no doubt, and yes, people have been effected.

But the claims of an ecological disaster affecting the entire gulf coast seem to not have been reasonable. There were many that were hoping to quit working and to have BP pay them that will now not get to do that... or at least I hope so.

Not as big a disaster as originally thought... good news... except for liberals.

Fine, be happy that it's not as big a disaster as originally thought. We can all be happy about that, if that's the case.

But to say...."except for liberals". Be serious, that's just some ignorant shit to say. That's like me saying, "People on the right would have liked to see the Holocaust last 10 more years". You may not agree with liberals but to make ridiculous statements like that does nothing for anyone.

Then prove it... you and your lib friends demand that we start drilling in gulf again... since.. it was the spill that made you libs end the drilling.

So, cmon.. admit there isn't any reason to stop offshore drilling.

Prove that I didn't want the gulf to be a disaster? LOL!


Prove that you didn't want the Holocaust to continue.
Prove that you haven't raped any babies today.
Prove that you didn't shoot JFK.
Prove you didn't help plot the 9/11 attacks.

:cuckoo:
 
You mean the earth fixes it's own problems? Who would have thought that a planet that's been around millions of years would have the ability to adapt and fix problems?

That's nonsense. Of course the earth can fix itself, but the damage American SUVs causes is far greater than any asteroid.

The only that that will heal Gaea from our depredations is global socialism.

Cmon.. pretty easy.... say we should resume drilling. Obama seems to be doing worse damage to the economy than the spill.. so you should want an end to the drilling.

Its ok... there will be other disasters you can revel in and blame GOP for in the future.

Whether or not I think we should be drilling does not make me wish a catastrophe on my own country. Using that reasoning, I guess I also wished for 9/11 to happen to make Bush look bad. Contrary to what you might believe, I don't wish bad things on America just so my "side" can look good. Some American you are, even thinking that.

You've already proven to closed minded and anti-american, I didn't expect you to believe me.

Oh and you didn't dispute my claims about you. I guess you did support the holocaust and raped a baby today. Thanks for clearing that up.
