Methane in Gulf "astonishingly high": U.S. scientist
(Reuters) - As much as 1 million times the normal level of methane gas has been found in some regions near the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, enough to potentially deplete oxygen and create a dead zone, U.S. scientists said on Tuesday.
Texas A&M University oceanography professor John Kessler, just back from a 10-day research expedition near the BP Plc oil spill in the gulf, says methane gas levels in some areas are "astonishingly high."
Kessler's crew took measurements of both surface and deep water within a 5-mile (8 kilometer) radius of BP's broken wellhead.
"There is an incredible amount of methane in there," Kessler told reporters in a telephone briefing.
In some areas, the crew of 12 scientists found concentrations that were 100,000 times higher than normal.
"We saw them approach a million times above background concentrations" in some areas, Kessler said.
The scientists were looking for signs that the methane gas had depleted levels of oxygen dissolved in the water needed to sustain marine life.
"At some locations, we saw depletions of up to 30 percent of oxygen based on its natural concentration in the waters. At other places, we saw no depletion of oxygen in the waters. We need to determine why that is," he told the briefing.
Methane occurs naturally in sea water, but high concentrations can encourage the growth of microbes that gobble up oxygen needed by marine life.
Kessler said oxygen depletions have not reached a critical level yet, but the oil is still spilling into the Gulf, now at a rate of as much as 60,000 barrels a day, according to U.S. government estimates.
"What is it going to look like two months down the road, six months down the road, two years down the road?" he asked.
Methane, a natural gas, dissolves in seawater and some scientists think measuring methane could give a more accurate picture of the extent of the oil spill.
Kessler said his team has taken those measurements, and is hoping to have an estimate soon.
"Give us about a week and we should have some preliminary numbers on that," he said.
Time to stop calling the BP-Halliburton oil disaster a "leak or a "spill" - Try an undersea volcano of oil
"The problem with the April 20 spill is that it isn’t really a spill: It‘s a gush, like an underwater oil volcano. A hot column of oil and gas is spurting into freezing, black waters nearly a mile down, where the pressure nears a ton per inch, impossible for divers to endure. Experts call it a continuous, round-the-clock calamity, unlike a leaking tanker, which might empty in hours or days.
One thing I’m noticing about the media coverage is that it’s like the blind people describing the elephant. Different media outlets are getting different pieces of the story right — and some pieces wrong. But unless you survey the entire coverage, you will definitely get a misimpression of what’s going on.
The Wall Street Journal, for instance, has been doing some good reporting, but perhaps because it’s behind a firewall, much of it has been slow to leak out and get the attention it deserves for, say, Halliburton’s crucial role or the remote-control shutoff switch that BP couldn’t be bothered to spend $500,000 on.
Most of the media is calling the undersea volcano of oil a “leak” or “spill, which creates a serious misimpression of what BP and the government are up against. Indeed, it feeds frustration as to why it hasn’t been fixed already. The L.A. Times got this part of the story write in a piece headlined, “BP’s containment problem is unprecedented The company must stop a relentless gush of oil nearly a mile below the surface, in a situation that hasn’t been dealt with before,” The LAT quotes some experts.
“Everything about it is unprecedented,” said geochemist Christopher Reddy, an oil-spill expert and head of the Coastal Ocean Institute at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. “All our knowledge is based on a one-shot event…. With this, we don’t know when it’s going to stop.”
Accidents have occurred before in which oil has gushed from damaged wells, he said. But he knew of none in water so deep.
And “everything is bigger and more difficult the deeper you go,” said Andy Bowen, a research specialist who works with undersea robotics at the Woods Hole center. “Fighting gravity is tough. It increases loads. You need bigger winches, bigger cables, bigger ships.”
An analogy, he said, is the difference between construction work on the ground versus at the top of a mile-high skyscraper.
The bottom line: An ounce of prevention is worth 10 million gallons of cure (see 20-year veteran of the Coast Guard: “With a spill of this magnitude and complexity, there is no such thing as an effective response.”)"
This woman is amazing. Just an ordinary person who lives there. She describes the effects on her childrens' health and towards the end she describes the hundreds of thousands of fish dying. This is as real as it gets. She deserves our support.

By the way, the EPA has a library on their site. It is large and daunting, but any of you folks that live in Florida should probably start wading through information to see if can find these facts for yourselves. This is not a matter to be taken lightly.
Here is a interview of Michael Brown, former FEMA Director under Bush's administration (Katrina). I really don't know what to think about the reasons he gives to explain his belief that the Obama administration want to use the crisis caused by the oil spill to stop offshore drilling.
CNN - Did Obama Want The Oil Spill? Ex-Fema Director Thinks So
[youtube:1mgbqzdb]
I can tell this news guy was not trying to hear what this Ex-former FEMA director was trying to explain. WOW!!
Like he said, something should have been done about it the moment the oil began to spill. Why wait to it get worser than what it is now. They now had opportunity. I included a link to my last post that someone explained on youtube that they could have taken care of this.
I think we have to consider the possibility that they don't WANT to do anything, that the death and destruction that have occured and will continue to occur are part of a plan
The below is a link to a lengthy interview with Steven Quayle who supports Hoagland's theory and then some. I'm not familiar with this guy but what he does say makes sense. There are 12 parts, but just listen to the first if that's all you have time for.

This is a fuckin disaster and more of a dam shame because it could have been avoided. They are gonna make 2012 a reality if it kills all of us. freakin idiots. Didn't Michael say heal the world? Obviously these assholes missed the message. I am very afraid of this. They are not telling us a fraction of what's at risk here. I think this is gearing up to be the storm of the century, except this time it won't be on movie screen.

Russian scientists weigh in on the possibilities of this catastrophe. I don't watch TV, but I understand that the spill is not being covered to the extent one might expect for a disaster of this size.
Ever since this oil leak started, I have been reminded of a verse I read a long time ago in the Book of Revelations. And it scares me more than words can convey.
Revelations chapter 8 verse 8
Then the second angel sounded: and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood:
verse9
and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
God help us.
I thought of the same thing!! We are living in some very scary times and we need to make more people aware of these things...I think we should be tweeting about this, try to link to some videos on the truth behind this corruption going on! A wise man told me that making others aware is "Key"

Disaster capitalists: Halliburton to make money off oil spill Internationalnews
The Raw Story
June 18th 2010
Does a company that both builds oil rigs and cleans up oil spills have any motivation to prevent oil rig disasters?
That's the question some people in business and politics are asking themselves after Halliburton's purchase of an oil clean-up company 10 days before the Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11 workers and launched the worst oil spill in US history.
Some observers see a conspiracy in the actions of the companyonce headed by Dick Cheney. Halliburton, which built the cement casing for the Deepwater Horizon's drill, announced its purchase of Houston-based oilfield services company Boots and Coots for $240 million on April 9, just 11 days before the Deepwater Horizon explosion.
According to a report at the Christian Science Monitor Friday,Boots and Coots is now under contract with BP to help with the oil spill. The company "focuses on oil spill prevention and blowout response," CSM reports. Halliburton's purchase is not yet a done deal -- it's still awaiting regulatory approval, though few observers think the purchase won't pass muster.
"[Mergers and acquisitions] in the industrial and oil services sectors is totally normal," writes David Anderson at The Inspired Economist, "but the timing in this case, is not. Boots & Coots sure seems like the perfect company to own if it would soon become necessary to get more involved with some oil disaster.
"Does this strike readers as a coincidence? If so, it’s a pretty lucky one for Halliburton."
But could Halliburton have known that an oil disaster was on the horizon, and planned in advance to profit from it? News reports indicate they could have.
The New York Times reported in May that BP was concerned about the rig's well casing -- which Halliburton worked on -- as early as June of 2009. The Times also reported that a Halliburton employee warned BP three weeks before the explosion that BP's use of cement for the well casing was "against [Halliburton's] best practices."
But even if the company's purchase of Boots and Coots was just a "lucky coincidence," there is still plenty about it to alarm observers. According to CSM, analysts are worried that a company like Halliburton will grow "complacent" in preventing disasters, because there is money to be made from cleaning up the mess -- and then rebuilding the oil rig.
“Working on both sides of the fence” is common in the oil industry, University of Louisiana professor Robert Gramling told CSM, but “it makes for a very complex decision-making environment that can become problematic."
At the very least, Halliburton's purchase should give the company a revenue boost. While Halliburton has been reporting plummeting revenue in recent quarters, Boots and Coots has been a business success story, with its revenue jumping from $11 million in 2000 to $209 million in 2008, before dropping slightly in 2009.
