You know that someone is going to come up with some sort of obscure ancient text with a line that will be interpreted as a prophesy. A prophecy that specifically refers to British Petroleum being the agent for world catastrophe.
Rev 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

The word Wormwood, means vinegar.
Wormwood is an herb, a useful one medically, but it's very, very bitter. It was being used to illustrate a point and the readers would be familiar with the plant.
[quote=Visvaldis;14990775]There certainly must be a reason why BP, and the government, are allowing the media to report about the extent of the oil spill, the potential hazards, and how much damage has already been done. LOL!
You know your statement is a lie. There has been plenty on the media blackout. How many reports are out there say clean-up workers are getting sick. EPA said no to the stuff they are spraying because it is toxic to everything but it is being sprayed anyway. Sorry the truth is seeping out no matter how hard they are trying to hide it.

I know nothing about geology.......so I'm wondering why this viewpoint is so farfetched. Do you know? , Is there some scientific reason why this guy could be totally wrong and probably is totallly wrong? Any of you scientists out there know the answer?
Does anyone know the reason for the media blackout on this story, no media is allowed to go out and see what's going on or any ideas why there is a media blackout?
I've been reading more and more stuff like this. Sure, there's always going to be those who think the end of the world is just around the corner, but what's worrisome is much of this is now coming from scientists and oil industry experts..
Personally I'm not saying or believing this is going to happen, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. And one has to wonder why the government has been so stringent in keeping the media and the public in the dark about this disaster..
Far more oil than this was released in Kern County California in the biggers US gusher in history. Take a chill pill. More oil that this oozes out of the earth every day. It will get absorbed and broken down. The earth, after all, creates oil by converting the dead bodies of plankton that are trapped in layers of sediment. The process is ongoing. Most escapes back out, but some is trapped in overly impermeable layers of rock, which we know as oil reservoirs.
It will be locally and regionally significant, but certainly not globally.
I don't know about this whole doomsday scenerio but I've been reading and hearing about the methane issue since last month. Most of it's been in the context of the health of the workers in the Gulf area. I can't find links because it's just been stuff I've been reading in the AOL news or hearing blurbs on tv. But apparently is a very serious issue.
Another issue out there is the toxic rain that will come from the oil and the dispersants. Oil has already been found in the rain along some of the Gulf Coast. The Weather Channel is actually one of the few media outlets that covered this issue in early June I believe.
Scientists are talking. Concerns have been raised about health issues. The Weather Channel seems to know more about some of this than other MSM. So what the heck is going on?

What about a "methane bubble"......"mega methan bubble"......which this piece refers to? Have you ever heard of this theory?
"The oil giant drilled down miles into a geologically unstable region and may have set the stage for the eventual premature release of a methane mega-bubble."
