5 YEARS LATER: BP / Gulf Oil Spill - 68,000 Square Miles of Direct Impact

2010 BP OIL SPILL – GULF OF MEXICO – WHAT HAPPENED and WHAT IS IT LIKE TODAY?

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Fingers crossed: it looks like the cap on BP’s Macondo well will hold until the relief well intercepts and permanently plugs it, and no more oil from this blowout will enter the Gulf. (Did NOT turn out that way – quite the opposite.)

So here’s a map showing the cumulative oil slick footprint for the BP / Deepwater Horizon oil spill, created by overlaying all of the oil slicks and sheen mapped by SkyTruth on satellite images taken between April 25 and July 16, 2010, blogged here, and published in our gallery.

Cumulatively, the surface oil slicks and sheen observed on these satellite images directly impacted 68,000 square miles of ocean - as big as the state of Oklahoma:

Additional information regarding the impact of the spill and toxic poisons used in attempts to deplete the spill:

Oil is hydrocarbon. H and C. Every high school chemistry student is taught that hydrocarbons eventually end up as CO2 and H2O, carbon dioxide and water. It is the most basic chemistry there is. Once it’s been oxidized (burned or metabolized), but this is a serious over simplification. There is a long way, chemically speaking, between “now” and “eventually.” This transformation of hydrocarbon doesn’t happen instantly unless you light it on fire.

Crude oil is also a complex mixture of many different types of hydrocarbon, each with its own set of properties, including toxicity and metabolic pathway.

Of course the oil is disappearing. Oil naturally decomposes in about three weeks in seawater. A good part goes into the air. A lot breaks into small heavy droplets and sinks, and some turns into tar balls. However, what few are saying is that oil decomposes into secondary products, many of which are more hazardous than the oil itself. These secondary products can cause long term effects some of which can be uncorrectable. So, yes the oil is gone, but the problem is still there! That is why it is always better to mop up the oil rather than disperse it as BP just did.

BUT – in talking to the reporter I emphasized the unknowns and unseens: impact to marshes and beaches from now-buried and embedded oil; impact from plumes of oil still lurking beneath the surface; long-term impacts from this massive spill. The article raises those issues:

“The effect on sea life of the large amounts of oil that dissolved below the surface is still a mystery. Two preliminary government reports on that issue have found concentrations of toxic compounds in the deep sea to be low, but the reports left many questions, especially regarding an apparent decline in oxygen levels in the water.

And understanding the effects of the spill on the shorelines that were hit, including Louisiana’s coastal marshes, is expected to occupy scientists for years. Fishermen along the coast are deeply skeptical of any declarations of success, expressing concern about the long-term effects of the chemical dispersants used to combat the spill and of the submerged oil, particularly on shrimp and crab larvae that are the foundation of future fishing seasons.”

Now, for pictures of some of the sea life which have suffered from the BP oil spill in the sick Gulf of Mexico:

Now, for a few pics of what this toxic stuff is continuing to do to humans. Many have died since the initial use of corexit, and many continue to die even today from various cancers caused – primarily skin and lungs.

Rumor has it that this oil spill and the resultant use of highly toxic chemicals was caused on purpose, part of the plan to take down America. BP and the owners, primarily the fake queen in London, STILL have NOT been held accountable for the eco-damage and the deaths of both humans and sea life.
