Methane in Gulf "potentially...enough to create a dead zone" (Obama, how much)

[delusianne]

(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.

I have a hard time reading articles about this disaster - almost makes me sick to my stomach.

Have you seen this Maddow segment:

YouTube - Oil Spills Then and Now

They who do not learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them again, and again, and.....

That makes me sick to my stomach, too, all the damage this spill is doing to man, sea life and the environment down there in the Gulf.

Thanks Barry.

How many more days of Obama?

I think they should make Obama live on the tar soaked beaches for his last two years of his presidency and see directly the effects of imcompetence. It is hard to appreciate one's failings while sipping champagne and conversing with Paul McCartney at the White House.

Thanks for posting. I'm disgusted by how much this unprecedented disaster is being politicized. Who really gives a flip whether Obama is playing golf? And I've heard enough BS from BP.

I'm glad that scientists are finally being given more of a voice. That's who I'm looking to for information that most closely resembles the truth.

If that gas deposit is there and under 100,000psi...we need this thing sealed from the bottom - now.

Every day brings more and more bad news about the oil spill. One wonders just what's next and what the long term damage is going to be. Even now "the sky is falling" doomsday naysayers are out there hyping this as something that is little short of a ten mile wide asteroid hitting Chicago. Hopefully, they are wrong.
