*MULTIPLE BP Gulf Oil Leaks* Spill Size of Delaware & Maryland, Hundreds Feet Deep

Oil experts: "This oil could flow, not for months, but for years to come". "A lot of devistation will occur for decades."

These were just a few of the startling statements oil experts Matt Simmons and Nicholas Pozzi made in a MSNBC interview on May 26.

They both agree that the video being released by BP (shown on youtube ) is ONE of the leaks, but much too small to account for the massive size of the oil spill stain. The stain is now the size of Delaware and Maryland combined, and several hundred feet deep. These experts estimate that there is (BEST case scenario) 210,000 per DAY leaking...totalling at least 6.93 MILLION GALLONS of oil.

The damage to the ecosystem of not just the U.S., but the world, is mind-boggling. There have been several internet posts regarding long term damage to the planet. I've listed two:

Gas Leak 3000 Times Worse Than Oil

There is 3000 times more natural gas coming out of the leak than oil. All of the gas is currently staying in the water because the ocean has the capacity to hold large quantities of methane in solution.

When methane breaks down it depletes oxygen in the water.
Then, when it continues to break down it produces hydrogen sulfate

After some discussions with people who are currently working to determine the extent of this undersea damage, I decided we need to revisit this topic: The damage of the massive amounts of Gas being released into the gulf is worse than the oil.

"It could take years, possibly decades, for the system to recover from an infusion of this quantity of oil and gas," Joye said. "We've never seen anything like this before. It's impossible to fathom the impact." read more at: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/5/16/866928/-Natural-Gas-Leak-3000-Times-W...

A reader of an article about the Loop Current drawing the BP Oil Disaster to the Florida Keys comments...

The North Atlantic (and Arctic) slick won't be the chocolate brown goo that is being monitored in the Gulf at present. It is more likely to be a thin film, a fraction of a millimeter thick, with a colorful iridescent sheen similar to those often seen on puddles in parking lots.

The consequences of a thin petroleum film floating on the surface of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans will need to be addressed. The film constitutes a barrier for oxygen exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. Most near-surface life is comprised of zooplankton (animals) and phytoplankton (plants). Without oxygen this bountiful community of unicellular life will perish: the base of the food chain will disappear. Like falling dominos, the North Atlantic extinction will travel up the food chain. Fisheries will become a memory. Cultures that rely on seafood for sustenance, primarily in Africa, northern South America, Central America, and Caribbean island nations will need to adapt to a change of diet or face a similar fate.

The petroleum film will also impede water evaporation. If the solar energy that evaporates water is blocked, the only alternative is for the surface water temperature to rise. Warmer water will accelerate Arctic Ocean melting during the long summer daylight hours and impede refreezing during the long, cold, winter darkness. Arctic Ocean mammals such as polar bears, walruses, and other pinnipeds will probably not survive.

Fortunately, nature has its way of curing what ails it. Over a period of years to decades to centuries, depending on how long it takes to plug the leak, the petroleum will evaporate or decompose and life will slowly return to the poisoned oceans but it will be a different world.

Franklin Roosevelt stated one thing about which we can be sure...

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."


Obama biggest recipient of BP cash

While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they've taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.

BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

If you are not awake now you better be, because America as you know it is coming to an end. Economic collapse is inevitable. You think is is all a joke and a conspiracy, then sit there and watch.
