No BP (NYSE:BP) Oil Plume Says Government

The alleged gigantic oil plume asserted to roam the Gulf by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts has never been proven, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said they aren't able to find any such thing beneath the Gulf waters.

As a matter of fact, according to NOAA scientist Sam Walker, "We are continuing to find lower and lower concentrations," confirming the original story the majority of the oil was gone from the Gulf through a variety of means, including oil-eating microbes.

The government report stated almost 75 percent of the oil had disappeared, primarily through natural means, although a small portion was attributed to oil skimming vessels. Evaporation also played a large part in the Gulf cleaning itself up.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for some unknown reason didn't even make their assertions until after the government report, which was about two months after they allegedly found the giant oil plume monster.

Some so-called scientists just don't like the fact that the Gulf can largely clean itself, as it doesn't fit their narrative, and it doesn't bring in research money.

BP (NYSE:BP): 22 Mile Long Oil Plume Heading To Florida

Off the BP (NYSE:BP) work site, a 22 mile long and 6 mile wide oil plume has been discovered by the University of South Florida college of Marine Sciences researchers. They say it is preparing to enter a underwater canyon. The effects of this would be devastating.

This massive plume is dangerously close to entering a large underwater canyon, once the crude oil enters this canyon the plants and animals that feed larger organisms will be bathed in a toxic chemical and oil soup. This canyon is responsible for fueling the food chain off the Gulf in Florida.

David Hollander, associate professor of chemical oceanography said, "the plume was detected just beneath the surface down to about 3,300 feet." He said their team found the thickest amounts of hydrocarbons at around 1,300 feet below in the same spot on two separate days this week.

Further testing by the researchers is planned to determine if the hydrocarbons they discovered are from the emulsification of oil or results of dispersants used as they made their way from the well into the sea.
