Gulf Loop Current Stalls | |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1057689 United States08/04/2010 10:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The mechanism by which the oil slick could lead to something like this could have to do with the changed viscosity of the water penetrated with oil to great depths due to the Corexit dispersant; and it could have to do with the darkened water attracting more solar heat, increasing its temperature. [link to yowusa.com] Approximately 1.8 to 2 million gallons of Corexit have been spayed in the Gulf of Mexico. This is a critical fact as current satellite data of the Gulf feeds, tell Zangari that the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico has clearly stalled. This due to environmental impacts from a man-made introduction of oil, which were then compounded by other agents (Corexit and so on). Worse yet, these real-time satellite data feeds offers clear evidence to Zangari that a new artificial system has been generated in the Gulf in a remarkably short period of time. It is this new and unnatural system which has changed the viscosity, temperature and salinity of the Gulf's seawater, thereby causing the Loop Current to stall. A system that has existed for millions of years. |

We could have a MAJOR FUCKING PROBLEM on our hands, the scope of which, may not be seen for a while yet.... This is serious folks, one of the more serious issues facing the world/GLP'tards. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1057689 United States08/04/2010 11:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The millions of gallons of Corexit sprayed in the Gulf have given BP and the US government a convenient way to mitigate public concerns by removing the threat from sight. The logic being that since the oil is disappearing, so is the crisis. However, taking oil from the surface and spreading through the water column is not a PR matter. Instead, it has become a convenient way to cover up one massive mistake, with a tragically larger one. The White House point person was on every news show this morning addressing concerns about the 1 million gallons of dispersant put into the GoM. |

Seems a little suspicious? no? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 515108Well scientists have been studying it for 20 to 30 years I believe. I'm sure they know enough to identify observable changes. |

And they dont even know how they can restart it... Quoting: a mommy 1052089Paraphrasing here from TPTB "Never let a disaster go to waste" Wonder what they will come up with to captialize on this... Mother Nature is pretty awesome maybe she can fix herself... I hope... Jesus is coming soon. Give your life to him. John 3:16-17 God Bless you all. |

That I don't argue with but how do you measure the current only depending on satellite data? the current is deep down and is measured with bouyus... Just questioning the information by this scientist... |

Well the entire point is that the mix of corexit and ocean water changes the overall viscosity which impacts the speed of the current and/or the flow all together. I'm not sure what your beef is with the premise? There is likely some relativity or comparative correlation between the surface level current and the current in the water column. No? |

I'm not sure what your beef is with the premise? There is likely some relativity or comparative correlation between the surface level current and the current in the water column. No? Well. I went through the article more thorough and my beef is: if you have oil on the surface on the water of course it is gonna affect the readings if you measure the surface current. ...Different fluid, heavier and probably slows down the waves over bigger parts of the water aswell. As it dilutes with the water, especially the corexit. However, how do you know that this is gonna affect the current long term? A temporary change is not the same as a permanent... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 515108A temporary change is not the same as a permanent... Agreed, we don't know. But we can't rule out that the effect maybe cascading or have a domino effect of some sort. We are in unprecedented territory as the cause is not natural but man made and never seen before. Anyway, the point of the corexit is to SINK the oil within the water column so as to "see no evil" if you will and make it more difficult for Federal authorities to calculate the amount of oil to assess the per barrel fine. That said, it means there is oil below the surface, whether it is detected or not, and - as it is mixed with corexit - it is impacting the viscosity and speed of the current, both underwater and at the surface. |
