Louisiana and BP: Methane hydrate is acting up

[Christophe]

A dead coral area has been discovered near the site where the BP platform was wrecked.

Bad news. A new expedition commissioned by the federal government to explore the seabed using robots has just discovered a dead coral zone located at 1400 meters deep and 11 km from the scene of the disaster. Charles Fisher, a Penn State biologist who leads the expedition, interviewed by the New York Times, pointed out that 90% of the coral at the site was either dead or about to die. According to him, the main suspect is undoubtedly the oil that escaped from the well even if additional tests will confirm this verdict. Scientists who participated in this expedition believe that 25 other areas near the well have probably been contaminated.

A little bit of reminder, just to remember that nothing is solved, that what happened yesterday .. will come back tomorrow and we do not forget too quickly, even when the merdias are silent ...

An unexpected consequence, the oil spill would have "disturbed" the gulf stream and would be at the origin of the Siberian cold wave currently on Europe:

Have it ... or rather Glaglagla ... as long as it does not last ...

To warm the planet we burn oil!
To cool it we extend it in the sea!

[Christophe]

Well, it's not really the sea that we cool but the heat pump
what constitutes the gulf stream. As the solar irradiation does not move (well not too much), if there are less calories pumped, then the local T ° (= that of the Gulf of Mexico) necessarily increases ... or so a new marine current goes form...

This site informs with detailed documents that the oil leak continues emerging from the bottom of the ocean through cracks !!!
The oil leak at the bottom of the ocean has become uncontrollable.
The methane hydrate increases the cracks and the leak becomes more acute.

BP continued to use the corexit dispersant after closing the well.
In addition, this deep-sea oil is much more radioactive what is found in the waters and fish of the Gulf of Mexico!
There are 2 other neighboring wells passed under silence !!

Nothing reassuring inside ...

I have not read in detail but I like this scheme, too bad it lacks the depth scale ...

Need to relativize because leaks of methane and oil underwater has naturally occurred naturally in all areas saturated with oil and especially in the Red Sea, out of any drilling ... natural seeps were also well known in the region. antiquity and even well before (ancient Egypt) and were exploited caulking the hulls of ships ...

There is no need to relativize on this kind of thing, the natural effusions of oil are much less ....

If the exploitation of unconventional oil continues in the deep sea, we are likely to see more and more such incidents (many are passed over in silence), in the long term the environmental damage will be irreparable.

Does anyone have news of this new disaster?

It seems that security was not at the top (lack of construction)
