Where's the oil? Right Wing pundits dismissed BP spill.

In the weeks immediately following the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform on April 20, 2010, Conservative pundits quickly tried to minimize the amount of damage we could expect from all that oil washing ashore, comparing it to "natural seepage" from the ocean floor.

Conservative pundits that initially believed the spill would turn out to be "no big deal" later (falsely) blamed President Obama for not reacting to the disaster sooner. And suddenly this was "Obama's Katrina".

Indeed

Where did all the oil go?

Rush Limbaugh was right?!!

@GovernmentSham912 Unless Rush said a third of the oil would be hidden from view over a ten-thousand square mile area by thinning it with toxic dispersants, I'm fairly certain Rush was dead wrong. The ocean didn't "absorb" it and bacteria didn't "eat" it. It's still out there, much of it now below the surface.

@BI30

Yeah notice i have a question mark.

Rush was right in the most idiotic sense.

President Obama recently announced most of the oil in now in fact gone. Mainstream news is now saying this thing was way overblown. Much like the swine flu hoax. They were going to use the military. Also force upon us a rushed vaccine.

@GovernmentSham912 Sorry. I couldn't tell from your use of punctuation whether you were serious or not.

Where's the oil? Where's the global warming? These fools are a waste of time. Unfortunately they've got the best platform a fool could want...FOX.

Hume and fat ass pumpkin head Limbaugh have no fucking brains in their fucking heads ! two fucking morons !

@patriot473. And yes, those email "leaks" were refutiated by the scientific community. Yes, can you believe it! Science does disagree with itself from time to time. But the BEST science always wins out. The problem with you global warming deniers is, you don't stay on top of whats current news. And then you use old news and your propaganda to try and debunk global warming. Nice try though. Become a climate scientist and maybe you might know what you're talking about.

Great mix... WHERES THE OIL? well its EVERYWHERE hahaha

@patriot473 A new video just for you. See the new Video Response above.

@patriot473 You're making my point. Oil is biodegradable. Dispersant isn't. On the tree-ring data, that's exactly what I was talking about. "Tree ring data" is reliable only under normal circumstances. In colder-than-normal years, the growing season was shorter and the rings were narrower. In warmer-than-normal years, the growing season was longer and the rings were thicker. But EXTREME heat also results in less growth and narrower rings like in cold seasons, skewing the data.

[patriot473]

@BI30 It is called "bioremediation". Oil is 100% boidegradable. As for global warming, Tree data showing global temps going down didn’t mesh with actual recorded temperatures, so pains were taken, (most of the time disclosed, but sometimes not) to use actual temp recordings and “hide the decline” from trees. Sometimes, on the so called hockey stick charts that show global temps as a flat line and then a sharp upward spike are indeed mixing tree ring data and actual temps. Emails were leaked.

@BI30 The jury is still out on dispersents, alot is still unknown so we shouldn't jump to comclusions. From what I understand they break the oil up into smaller particles so they can be eaten faster by bacteria. Species will return, the earth will heal itself, it's been doing it since the begnning.
