I have to wonder that if ALL the truth about the oil spill were to be known could it be that there is no oil spill at all instead there is now a planet killer event underway.

I doubt a planet killer but I suspect there will be dead zones in the gulf and possibly the carribean and lower Eastern US seaboard for decades to come. I have to wonder if the gulf stream will take it to the pristine blue waters of Bahamas.

Helium (despite its gassy name in this context) is not a good source. The authors are paid by the number of hits they get. If you look at past articles by this writer, you'll see they all fall into the sensationalist category. I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

Then what is a good source for this info? One might as well delete this thread rather than attack the source in this manner.

Oh please I seriously doubt that will happen. Sure there will be a doomsday but no one knows for sure when that will happen.

At no time in recorded human history has mankind had the both the science and the high tech tools for science to forecast earth events as we do today. That changes the game doesn't it?

While I will agree to a point I will not tie this event to any hard and fast time table like 6 mo.
