gulf oil spill

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101110/ap_on_bi_ge/us_gulf_oil_spill Looks they lied about scientists' support for a 6 month deep-water drilling ban. The Interior Department's IG says the White House edited a drilling safety report in a way that made it falsely appear that scientists and...

Tests warned of cement problems before well's blowout The evidence does seem to indicate gross negligence, but I'm sure they have some very expensive lawyers who will try to argue otherwise.

Goldman Sachs knew Gulf oil leak in advance and made money on it.

Has anybody else seen the new BP TV ad with the good ol' boy who's "from around here" talking about how he's goin' to work real hard to clean up this here mess? Nobody cares more about this here Gulf Coast than he does! Hello, BP? Talking crap in a southern accent doesn't make you any more...

Just saw a blurb that BP just announced the cap has been secured and no more oil is now leaking! :) But some guy just called in on MSNBC and claims there's another even bigger leak from some unrelated hole a couple miles away.......wasn't there an unsubstantiated rumor about that awhile ago...

Don't dismiss it all as 'woo'. Not everything in this world is as the media would like you to think. I reckon the Gulf Of Meico oil 'spill' is a great example of this. We do get lied to and we do have things hidden from us. Just try to read between the lines and don't keep those rosy coloured...

I think this one is going to catch on soon, It's got it all - media blackout, evil corporations, global apocalypse, some 'experts', and some science-y sounding terms. http://www.helium.com/items/1882339-doomsday-how-bp-gulf-disaster-may-have-triggered-a-world-killing-event

Anyone hear about this, know anything, is it possible, likely, unlikely etc? I'm hearing rumblings and just wondering.

I understand that oil doesn't evaporate. But as some have already suggested, if BP is using dispersants, will this allow some oil to be evaporated? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un8co1d4zb4&feature=player_embedded#! I live on the Gulf Coast, and I am appealing to jref superdebunkers to...

Hi. I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnAqfxMrato&feature=related Has anyone here been down there and who could verify or debunk these claims? If this is true it's really serious.

Anybody who tells you that Obama has been refusing to accept offers of assistance from foreign countries is lying to you. (Which, if you watch Faux News a lot, goes without saying.) http://globalwarmingmisinformation.com/research/201006110023

So Limbaugh and a congressman from Texas have both characterized the BP $20 billion compensation fund as a "slush fund." Um....what? Seriously where does that idea even come from? It was also characterized as a "shakedown." Right..........BP is the victim in this. :rolleyes:

Good news. BP is not going to pay dividends this year. (Or ever, if justice prevails.) That leaves more for the government to sieze when justice is done to the oil toads. Obama seems to have twisted the right arms. More than his predecessor would have done. He has the escrow fund he...

When life give you lemons, you really should make lemonade. In this case, we're getting lots of black goo, and so we should make.....black goo sausages! Allow me to explain. I'm not talking about booms... After reading this, today, I'm leaning towards believing that the oil flow will not be...

Is the following likely to end up being empty rhetoric, or will this disaster stimulate a move to a genuine clean energy? And what immediate technologies can America roll out and what would it take to roll out such technologies...

Sometimes I seriously wonder if Infowars is trying to inspire mass suicides.... This is it. It’s over. Get ready for the most insane year of your life. 5 years. 10 years. One day you will look back at your life right now and think about how easy it was, how innocent. We are on the cusp of...

The crude oil spilling into the Gulf is definitely bad for marine life and fishermen but is that the extent of the harm, as the media would have you believe? Are deadly toxic gases that are naturally formed in oil reservoirs a major problem for human beings living on the Gulf? Benzene levels...

The overall American response to the mega-disaster that is unfolding and becoming worse, minute, by minute, hour by hour and day by day is noteworthy for how nonchalant we all are. One is reminded that according to Pliny as well as the archeaological record, that the people of Pompeii did not...

So, the amount of oil being captured is now up to 15,000 bbl/day and it's still not all of it. (actually that's 15 times higher than what we were originally told, and 3 times higher than the revised estimate that it was raised to over BP's objections. Since the amount now being captured is...

Has Jones et al made this into a conspiracy yet? The US Gov. deliberately blowing it up for some NWO-related reason?

From a populist perspective it plays quite well - it's the foreign company's responsibility -it's relatively easy to stoke up the nationalist sentiment (as Obama et al are doing) And obviously BP share a large chunk of the blame.... however, there was some American right-wing idiot on the...

http://globalwarming.house.gov/spillcam They are busy right now. Two robots either side of the pipe using cutting wheels. Lets hope they get it right. ETA. They have lowered what looks like some giant "crimping tool".

A ridiculous question but one that's actually being asked: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jun/01/gulf-oil-spill-bp-future I think the lesson is, if you're going to cause an ecological catastophe, do it somewhere like Nigeria rather than the most litigious country on earth... I...

Every news report I have seen seems to be blaming BP for the oil spill. What evidence is there that they caused the leak as opposed to TransOcean, Halliburton, or some other yet named group? I'm willing to accept that it there is negligence involved, I just want to know who is responsible and...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100513/ts_ynews/ynews_ts2052 The Soviets did it 5 times before. Just detonate a 10 killiton nuclear weapon at the leak..and watch it get buried in 100 million cubic yards of rock. that should stop the leak. why won't they use this method?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/29/us/29spill.html?hp "BP engineers struggled Friday to plug a gushing oil well a mile under the sea, but as of late in the day they had made little headway in stemming the flow. Will the BP disaster shape popular views of the president’s competency...

The thread title is based on a sign someone was holding in the clicky picture on Yahoo. I'm not posting it for obvious reasons (rhymes with Mule Whore). Anyway, on with the OP: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl2270 Public opinion is turning on Obama, OF COURSE divided along party lines...
