Default Gulf Oil Spill, Fantasy and reality

Enviro-whackos told us the Gulf oil spill would be a sort of enviro-
armageddon destroying fisheries forever. I said the effects would be
inconsequential in a couple of years due to the extreme weathering
from the amount of ultra-violet light and micro-bio critters eating it
up. I was correct. Two years after the spill and the effect on
fisheries is very low and will be nearly nothing a year from now. The
effects on beaches is almost nothing. Within 5 years, you will not be
able to find any of the oil on beaches as it will be weathered and
eaten by critters to nearly nothing.
The only major effect the spill has had is the elimination of oil
industry jobs by the Obama admin in response to the spill.
Scientists have all been surprised at how fast the oil has
dissappeared meaning most of them know nothing of what actually
happens in the Gulf. There is still some heavy oil on the botom but
even it is rapidly being consummed by oil eating life. The Gulf of
Mexico is complately dif from prince William Sound where oil from teh
Exxon Valdez is still seen. We have more than 3X the UV flux and the
amount of life in the Gulf that eats oil is probably greater by
factors of thousands. Much of this life evolved in the presence of
natural oil seeps so given the oil spill they ate it up.


Yup, all part of the plan... Remember, Obama said he would raise the gas
prices to ten dollars a gallon if it would help General Electri.. ooops,
I mean, the "green" movement...

History will not be kind to President Obama.. the worst President in US
history...
