PESTILENCES (CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS)

LUKE 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences;(CHEMICAL,BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS) and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

POISONED WATERS

REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Flotels await oil spill cleanup workers on Gulf By BEN NUCKOLS, Associated Press Writer 4:15AM JUNE 1,10

PORT FOURCHON, La. – The 40-foot-long corrugated steel boxes, resembling oversized white shipping containers, are stacked two high and three wide atop a barge at Port Fourchon, the oil industry's hub on the Gulf of Mexico. The words Martin Quarters painted in black offer the only clue that they're not stuffed with cargo.This barge is a floating hotel, or flotel,set up by BP and several subcontractors to accommodate more than 500 workers hired to clean up the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Temporary housing is the only way to station workers at Port Fourchon, a massive shipyard that serves offshore oil rigs and is surrounded by ecologically sensitive marshes and beaches.There are no permanent residents here on the port, said Dennis Link, a manager from a BP refinery who's handling logistics at the 1,300-acre site that's easily accessible by ship, but reachable on land only by a state road that snakes through the bayous.With the ambitious top kill having failed over the weekend and a relief well at least two months away, BP was ramping up its efforts to clean up the Louisiana coast. Another temporary fix — an effort to saw through the pipe leaking the oil and cap it — could be tried as soon as Wednesday. In the meantime, more than 125 miles of the state's coastline already have been hit with oil, including the resort of Grand Isle near Port Fourchon.

The cleanup, relief wells and temporary fixes were being watched closely by President Barack Obama's administration. Obama planned to meet for the first time Tuesday with the co-chairmen of an independent commission investigating the spill, while Attorney General Eric Holder was headed to the Gulf Coast to meet with state attorneys general.On Monday afternoon, the living quarters on the flotel sat empty. Generators pumped in cool air and powered the lights, and at the foot of each bunk sat a towel, washcloth and individually wrapped bar of soap. If necessary, four tents on dry land nearby can house 500 more workers. Workers will likely be trucked in on the two-lane state road.The accommodations on the barge are Spartan, but comfortable — similar to military barracks. Each pod contains 12 bunks, with a bathroom for every four. Per Coast Guard standards, each resident gets 30 square feet of space in the quarters. The barge has 10 washers, 10 dryers and a kitchen, although food will be served in a tent on land. The quarters are typically floated alongside offshore oil rigs to supplement housing on the drilling operations.The flotel could be moved if significant amounts of oil wash up at another location. Another flotel sits about 15 miles away, off Grand Isle, and BP plans to establish them elsewhere along the coast. Port Fourchon and Grand Isle were quiet Monday, with only a handful of people seen walking on the beaches by an Associated Press reporter and photographer flying over in a helicopter.BP is hiring local workers and ones from other states, and Link acknowledged that some from Louisiana might prefer a long drive home each to staying on the flotel.For Chad Martin, co-owner of Martin Quarters, business is booming. His company has 200 living quarters, and 60 were available when a BP subcontractor called. The oil giant rented every single one.

But Martin understands the gravity of the situation.This is not the way to get work, he said.Cleanup efforts are being ramped up while BP also tries the latest in a series of patchwork fixes, this one a cut-and-cap process to put a lid on the leaking wellhead so oil can be siphoned to the surface. The risky procedure could, at least temporarily, increase the oil flowing from the busted well.Using robot submarines, BP plans to cut away the riser pipe this week and place a cap-like containment valve over the blowout preventer. On Monday, live video feeds showed robot submarines moving equipment around and using a circular saw-like device to cut small pipes at the bottom of the Gulf.BP failed to plug the leak Saturday with its top kill, which shot mud and pieces of rubber into the well but couldn't beat back the pressure of the oil.The oil company also announced plans Monday to try attaching another pipe to a separate opening on the blowout preventer with some of the same equipment used to pump in mud during the top kill. The company also wants to build a new freestanding riser to carry oil toward the surface, which would give it more flexibility to disconnect and then reconnect containment pipes if a hurricane passed through.Neither of those plans would start before mid-June and would supplement the cut-and-cap effort.But the best chances for sealing off the leak are two relief wells, the first of which won't be ready until August. The spill has already leaked between 19.7 million and 43 million gallons, according to government estimates.

For the relief well to succeed, the bore hole must precisely intersect the damaged well, which experts have compared to hitting a target the size of a dinner plate more than two miles into the earth. If it misses, BP will have to back up its drill, plug the hole it just created, and try again. The probability of them hitting it on the very first shot is virtually nil, said David Rensink, incoming president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, who spent most of his 39 years in the oil industry in offshore exploration.If they get it on the first three or four shots they'd be very lucky.The trial-and-error process could take weeks, but it will eventually work, scientists and BP said. Then engineers will then pump mud and cement through pipes to ultimately seal the well. On the slim chance the relief well doesn't work, scientists weren't sure exactly how much — or how long — the oil would flow. The gusher would continue until the well bore hole collapsed or pressure in the reservoir dropped to a point where oil was no longer pushed to the surface, said Tad Patzek, chair of the Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering Department at the University of Texas-Austin. BP said it doesn't know how much oil is in the reservoir because it was starting to collect and analyze data on its size when the rig exploded April 20. In Patzek's mind, failing to get the relief wells to work isn't an option.I don't admit the possibility of it not working,he said.

Relief for Gulf is 2 months away with another well By MATTHEW BROWN, Associated Press Writer MAY 31,10 10:00PM

NEW ORLEANS – The best hope for stopping the flow of oil from the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico has been compared to hitting a target the size of a dinner plate with a drill more than two miles into the earth, and is anything but a sure bet on the first attempt.Bid after bid has failed to stanch what has already become the nation's worst-ever spill, and BP PLC is readying another patchwork attempt as early as Wednesday, this one a cut-and-cap process to put a lid on the leaking wellhead so oil can be siphoned to the surface.But the best-case scenario of sealing the leak is two relief wells being drilled diagonally into the gushing well —tricky business that won't be ready until August.The probability of them hitting it on the very first shot is virtually nil, said David Rensink, incoming president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, who spent most of his 39 years in the oil industry in offshore exploration. If they get it on the first three or four shots they'd be very lucky.The relief well drilling and temporary fixes were being watched closely by President Barack Obama, who planned to meet for the first time Tuesday with the co-chairmen of an independent commission investigating the spill. A senior administration official said the meeting will take place at the White House. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting had not been formally announced.

For the relief well to succeed, the bore hole must precisely intersect the damaged well. If it misses, BP will have to back up its drill, plug the hole it just created, and try again.The trial-and-error process could take weeks, but it will eventually work, scientists and BP said. Then engineers will then pump mud and cement through pipes to ultimately seal the well.As the drilling reaches deeper into the earth, the process is slowed by building pressure and the increasing distance that well casings must travel before they can be set in place.Still, the three months it could take to finish the relief wells — the first of which started May 2 — is quicker than a typical deep well, which can take four months or longer, said Tad Patzek, chair of the Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering Department at the University of Texas-Austin. BP already has a good picture of the different layers of sand and rock its drill bits will meet because of the work it did on the blown-out well.On the slim chance the relief well doesn't work, scientists weren't sure exactly how much — or how long — the oil would flow. The gusher would continue until the well bore hole collapsed or pressure in the reservoir dropped to a point where oil was no longer pushed to the surface, Patzek said.I don't admit the possibility of it not working, he said.

A third well could be drilled if the first two fail.We don't know how much oil is down there, and hopefully we'll never know when the relief wells work, BP spokesman John Curry said.The company was starting to collect and analyze data on how much oil might be in the reservoir when the rig exploded April 20, he said.BP's uncertainty statement is reasonable, given they only had drilled one well, according to Doug Rader, an ocean scientist with the Environmental Defense Fund.Two relief wells stopped the world's worst peacetime spill, from a Mexican rig called Ixtoc 1 that dumped 140 million gallons off the Yucatan Peninsula. That plug took nearly 10 months beginning in the summer of 1979. Drilling technology has vastly improved since then, however.So far, the Gulf oil spill has leaked between 19.7 million and 43 million gallons, according to government estimates.In the meantime, BP is turning to another risky procedure federal officials acknowledge will likely, at least temporarily, cause 20 percent more oil — at least 100,000 gallons a day — to add to the gusher. Using robot submarines, BP plans to cut away the riser pipe this week and place a cap-like containment valve over the blowout preventer. On Monday, live video feeds showed robot submarines moving equipment around and using a circular saw-like device to cut small pipes at the bottom of the Gulf. The crews will eventually cut the leaking riser and place the cap on top of it, the company hopes it will capture the majority of the oil, sending it to the surface. If you've got to cut that riser, that's risky. You could take a bad situation and make it worse, said Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University professor of environmental sciences. BP failed to plug the leak Saturday with its top kill, which shot mud and pieces of rubber into the well but couldn't beat back the pressure of the oil.

Meanwhile, the location of the spill couldn't be worse. To the south lies an essential spawning ground for imperiled Atlantic bluefin tuna and sperm whales. To the east and west, coral reefs and the coastal fisheries of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. And to the north, Louisiana's coastal marshes. More than 125 miles of Louisiana coastline already have been hit with oil.It's just killing us by degrees, said Tulane University ecologist Tom Sherry. It's an area that historically has been something of a superhighway for hurricanes, too.If a major storm rolls in, the relief well operations would have to be suspended and then re-started, adding more time to the process. Plugging the Ixtoc was also hampered by hurricane season, which begins Tuesday and is predicted to be very active.Three of the worst storms ever to hit the Gulf coast — Betsy in 1965, Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005 — all passed over the leak site. On the Gulf coast beaches, tropical weather was far from some tourists' minds. On Biloxi beach, Paul Dawa and his friend Ezekial Momgeri sipped Coronas after a night gambling at the Hard Rock Casino. Both men, originally from Kenya, drove from Memphis, Tenn., and were chased off the beach by a storm, not oil. We talked about it and we decided to come down and see for ourselves whether there was oil, Momgeri said. There's no oil here.Though some tar balls have been found on Mississippi and Alabama barrier islands, oil from the spill has not significantly fouled the shores. Still, the perception that it has soiled white sands and fishing areas threatens to cripple the tourist economy, said Linda Hornsby, executive director of the Mississippi Hotel and Lodging Association It's not here. It may never be here. It's costing a lot of money to counter that perception,Hornsby said. First it was cancelations, but that evolved to a decrease in calls and there's no way to measure that.Yet there was fear the oil would eventually hit the other Gulf coast states. Hentzel Yucles, of Gulfport, Miss., hung out on the beach with his wife and sons.Katrina was bad. I know this is a different type of situation, but it's going to affect everybody,he said. Attorney General Eric Holder plans to visit the Gulf Coast on Tuesday and meet with state attorneys general. Several senators have asked the Justice Department to determine whether any laws were broken in the spill.Associated Press writers Kevin McGill, Ben Nuckols and Greg Bluestein in Covington, La., Holbrook Mohr in Biloxi, Miss., and Darlene Superville at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., contributed to this report.

After fix fail, a dispiriting summer of oil, anger By TED ANTHONY and MARY FOSTER, Associated Press Writers - MAY 30,10 9:00 PM

BOOTHVILLE, La. – There is still a hole in the Earth, crude oil is still spewing from it and there is still, excruciatingly, no end in sight. After trying and trying again, one of the world's largest corporations, backed and pushed by the world's most powerful government, can't stop the runaway gusher.As desperation grows and ecological misery spreads, the operative word on the ground now is, incredibly, August -- the earliest moment that a real resolution could be at hand. And even then, there's no guarantee of success. For the United States and the people of its beleaguered Gulf Coast, a dispiriting summer of oil and anger lies dead ahead.Oh ... and the Atlantic hurricane season begins Tuesday.The latest attempt — using a remote robotic arm to stuff golf balls and assorted debris into the gash in the seafloor — didn't work. On Sunday, as churches echoed with prayers for a solution, BP PLC said it would focus on containment rather than plugging the undersea puncture wound, effectively redirecting the mess it made rather than stopping it. Yet the new plan carries the risk of making the torrent worse, as top government officials warned Sunday.We failed to wrestle this beast to the ground, said BP Managing Director Bob Dudley, doing the rounds of the Sunday talk shows.

As the oil washes ashore, crude-coated birds have become a frequent sight. At the sea's bottom, no one knows what the oil will do to species like the newly discovered bottom-dwelling pancake batfish — and others that remain unknown but just as threatened.Scientists from several universities have reported large underwater plumes of oil stretching for miles and reaching hundreds of feet beneath the Gulf's surface, though BP PLC CEO Tony Hayward on Sunday disputed their findings, saying the company's tests found no such evidence of oily clouds underwater.The oil is on the surface,Hayward said. Oil has a specific gravity that's about half that of water. It wants to get to the surface because of the difference in specific gravity.

Perhaps most alarming of all, 40 days after the Deepwater Horizon blew up and began the underwater deluge, hurricane season is at hand. It brings the horrifying possibility of wind-whipped, oil-soaked waves and water spinning ashore and coating areas much farther inland. Imagine Katrina plus oil spill.The spill is already the worst in American history — worse, even, than the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster. It has already released between 18 million and 40 million gallons of oil into the Gulf, according to government estimates.This is probably the biggest environmental disaster we've ever faced in this country,White House Energy and Climate Change Advisor Carol Browner said on NBC's Meet the Press.At some point — the widespread debut of the BP spillcam is as good a delineation point as any — this tipped, in the national conversation, from a destructive event into a calamitous, open-ended saga. And for the bruised and cantankerous American psyche, it could not come at a worse time.Fear is everywhere, and polarization prevails. Faith in institutions — corporations, government, the media — is down. Americans are angry, and they long ago grew accustomed to expecting the resolution of problems in very short order, even if reality rarely works that way.So when something undefined and uncontrollable happens, they speculate in all the modern forums about collusion and nefarious dealings. In the process, this tale of environmental disaster and economic damage cripples the sea-to-shining-sea narrative that usually offers Americans comfort during uncertain times.There are people who are getting desperate, and there are more getting anxious as we get further into the shrimping season and there is less chance they will recover,said the Rev. Theodore Turner, 57, at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Boothville, near where oil first washed ashore. Fishermen make up about a third of his congregation.

BP's next containment effort involves an assortment of undersea robot maneuvers that would redirect the oil up and out of the water it is poisoning.The first step in BP's latest effort is the intricate removal of a damaged riser that brought oil to the surface of the Deepwater Horizon rig. The riser will be cut at the top of the crippled blowout preventer, creating a flat surface that a new containment valve can seal against. The valve would force the oil into a new riser, bringing it up to a ship. The seal, however, would not prevent all oil from escaping. White House energy czar Carol Browner said Sunday the effort could result in a temporary 20 percent increase in the flow. BP has said it didn't expect a significant increase in flow from the cutting and capping plan. If the containment valve fails, BP may try installing a blowout preventer on top of the existing one. In the end, however, a relief well would ease the pressure on the runaway gusher in favor of a controlled pumping — essentially what the Deepwater Horizon was trying to do in the first place. But that will take at least two months. Using government figures, if the leak continues at its current pace and is stopped on Aug. 1, 51 million to 106 million gallons will have spilled. They are going to destroy south Louisiana. We are dying a slow death here,said Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, La. Coastal tent cities are about to rise to house the workers and contractors minimizing the damage. Sand banks and barriers are being built. But the consensus around the Gulf Coast is turning more apoplectic and apocalyptic. This is, people are starting to say, a generational event — tragic to this generation, potentially crippling to the next.

The oil spill is part of prophecy,said Turner, the Louisiana minister.The Bible prophesized hardships. If we believe the word of God is true — and we do — we also know that in addition to prophecying hardships he promised to take care of us.The Obama administration, which has been grilled for not taking the reins sooner, sought to assure the public. I am resolute and confident that we will see a better day ahead of us,Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Saturday. And yet that statement, stacked up against the word August,tempers the optimism for many watching this saga unfold. They see a dissembling corporation, an ineffective government and an ocean surface covered by a viscous shell with the consistency of molasses and the peril of poison. To them, it comes down to only this: There is still a hole in the Earth. Crude oil is still spewing from it. And there is still, excruciatingly, no end in sight.

Oil disaster shows a divide from physical world By CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer - Mon May 31, 3:25 am ET

WASHINGTON – It's all so last millennium, that filthy business in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico.It reeks of yesterday's fuel, yesterday's sweaty labor — a hands-on way of life from another time. Today's Americans don't care to know how the gas comes to the pump, the food to the table, the iPad to the store.

Just make sure they do.But now they're staring, transfixed, at where things come from. And what people still do to get it to you, and the death and devastation that can result when something goes wrong and it can't be fixed with a call to technical support.Top kill wasn't a video game. It was a desperate injection of mud and junk into the primeval muck near the wreck of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. It was the most ambitious effort yet for a temporary fix, and it failed. So the oil spews, the search goes on and long-term hopes rest on relief wells still two months or more away.In this age of microchip miracles, people are seeing brute mass, old tools and ancient physics at work in the weirdly lunar undersea landscape. The atmospherics could be from a moon mission.A mile down, supersized vise grips clench a pipe forcing a flotsam into the ruptured well like oil workers have done on land.All so yesterday in look and feel — even if it is the first ever top kill at such great ocean depths.The enormity of the Gulf, its depths and the engineering challenges are beyond ordinary comprehension. (The Gulf alone is punctured with more than 2,300 deep wells. Who knew?) No fancy touch-sensitive chart on TV conveys the vastness. Even experts wildly disagree on fundamental questions such as how much oil is coming out.The United States is a seafaring nation whose encounters with the sea now tend to be Red Lobster in the suburbs or Memorial Day at the beach.It's historically a farming, industrial and exploring nation, most of whose people now are distant from the elemental struggles of living and working in the physical environment, much less understanding it.Only 14 percent of the modern U.S. work force is engaged in production: manufacturing, mining, logging, construction and the like. The rest are in services.

While it is often considered an alien place, too, Washington is a product of that nation.The president and many lawmakers are lawyers by training, not engineers, roustabouts or farmers. No wonder members of Congress met to discuss legal liability among their first orders of business in the oil spill response. For many in Washington, the talk is of blame, accountability and political consequences.No wonder, perhaps, that President Barack Obama assumed that something so terrible would not happen because it had not happened before.Like most Americans, he lacks the sixth sense of a mariner in foul weather or a miner listening to the earth speak.He does, though, hail from Hawaii, where, as he noted last week, the ocean is sacred. Not to mention, all around.Obama touched on the disconnect between those of the grounded physical world and everyone else during his news conference. He showed that he knows what he can't really feel. When I hear folks down in Louisiana expressing frustrations, I may not always think that their comments are fair, he said. On the other hand, I probably think to myself, these are folks who grew up fishing in these wetlands and seeing this as an integral part of who they are.

The land, sea and factory are less and less an integral part of Americans. If Aristotle were blogging about all of this, he would probably have little patience with the armchair experts and the pontificators who think the solution should be as easy as Malia Obama suggested when she asked her father, Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy? The Greek philosopher said those who dwell in intimate association with nature are apt to understand the big picture.Lack of experience diminishes our power of taking a comprehensive view.His way of saying, you have to be there to get it. Americans, these days, are not. Online: Live video of oil spill: http://tinyurl.com/2c8y3rj

After another failure, BP scrambles to stem leak BEN NUCKOLS, Associated Press Writer SUN MAY 30,10 9:45AM

ROBERT, La. – With BP declaring failure in its latest attempt to plug the uncontrolled gusher feeding the worst oil spill in U.S. history, the company is turning to yet another mix of risky undersea robot maneuvers and longshot odds to keep crude from flowing into the Gulf.Six weeks after the catastrophe began, oil giant BP PLC is still casting about for at least a temporary fix to the spewing well underneath the Gulf of Mexico that's fouling beaches, wildlife and marshland. A relief well that's currently being drilled - which is supposed to be a better long-term solution - won't be done for at least two months. That would be in the middle of the Atlantic hurricane season, which begins Tuesday.President Barack Obama said it is as enraging as it is heartbreaking that the most ambitious bid yet for a temporary solution failed. BP said Saturday that the procedure known as the top kill failed after engineers tried for three days to overwhelm the crippled well with heavy drilling mud and junk 5,000 feet underwater. Now, BP hopes to saw through a pipe leading out from the well and cap it with a funnel-like device using the same remotely guided undersea robots that have failed in other tries to stop the gusher.

Robert Dudley, BP's managing director, said on Fox News Sunday that company officials were disappointed that they failed to wrestle this beast to the ground.

Engineers will use remotely guided undersea robots to try to lower a cap onto the leak after cutting off part of a busted pipe leading out from the well. The funnel-like device is similar to a huge containment box that failed before when it became clogged with icelike slush. Dudley said officials learned a lot from that failure and will pump warm water through the pipes to prevent the ice problems. Video courtesy of ABC News. For more visit ABC News.com.The spill is the worst in U.S. history - exceeding even the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster - and has dumped between 18 million and 40 million gallons into the Gulf, according to government estimates. The leak began after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in April, killing 11 people.Suttles said BP is already preparing for the next temporary fix. The company plans to cut off the damaged riser, and then try to cap it with a containment valve. The effort is expected to take between four and seven days.This scares everybody, the fact that we can't make this well stop flowing, the fact that we haven't succeeded so far, BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said Saturday.Many of the things we're trying have been done on the surface before, but have never been tried at 5,000 feet.He said cutting off the damaged riser isn't expected to cause the flow rate of leaking oil to increase significantly.Experts have said that a bend in the damaged riser likely was restricting the flow of oil somewhat, so slicing it off and installing a new containment valve is risky.If they can't get that valve on, things will get much worse, said Philip W.

BP’s Hypocritical Green Image is Covered With Oil
By Dr. Tim Ball Thursday, May 27, 2010 CANADA FREE PRESS

This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.Words of advice Polonius gave to his son Laertes in Hamlet. They’re addressed to an individual, but also apply to groups. Beyond self-deception you are misrepresenting yourself to the world. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of examples in all segments of society, especially in the exploitation of the environment and climate change. Environmental groups with a political agenda or businesses pretending to be green are good examples. Shakespeare would appreciate the irony of BP, the self-professed most green energy company, creating the potentially worse oil spill in US history. The motive for being untrue to self is important because the public have empathy for some self-aggrandizement. However, when the actions are premeditated, and cynically assume people don’t know or are easily fooled, then they are angry. There is no empathy or sympathy for hypocrisy. Nothing did more to destroy Al Gore’s credibility than disclosure that his carbon footprint was multiples larger than average.

Self-Inflicted Public Relations Disaster
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a disaster and everyone understands accidents happen. What they expect is quick acceptance of blame and then responsibility. British Petroleum handling of the event is a public relations nightmare and evidence of technological incompetence. Instead of taking full and complete blame they tried to blame subcontractors; they made lame excuses about the amount of oil and water volume; split hairs when they said they would pay all legitimate claims; it is unconscionable that they lacked any pre-planned technology to deal with deepwater blowouts; each failed attempt to stop the flow shows they didn’t even do theoretical planning. This is not to take the US government off the hook because they failed to ensure BP was prepared and have nothing in place to control the oil as it spread. But how serious is BPs commitment beyond mitigating the costs and reducing lawsuits? Obama is using the spill to reduce dependence on oil and promote alternate energy in which BP is a major player.

BP Connection With Gore and Enron
Nothing does more to destroy British Petroleum’s (BP) credibility than the hypocrisy of their history. They were one of the first oil companies to pretend to be green. 1997 was a momentous year with a meeting at the White House between Clinton, Gore, Lord Browne head of then British Petroleum (BP) and Ken Lay of Enron. At the meeting,Lay urged President Clinton and Vice President Gore to back a market-based approach to the problem of global warming—a strategy that a later Enron memo makes clear would be good for Enron stock.Chris Horner describes Enron’s involvement this way, Enron was part of a select group that shaped the administration’s case for policy action on the theory of man-made climate change.Browne and BP were involved in the market based strategy discussions, which required acknowledgement of human induced global warming. In 1997 BP pulled out of the Global Climate Coalition declaring that global warming was a real problem and needed attention. Browne reiterated his views in a 2002 speech at Stanford University and as one commentary states,Had you stumbled into the auditorium partway through, you might be forgiven for assuming the man at the podium was not an oil baron, an industrialist, an extractor of fossil fuels from the tender earth but an environmentalist of the high church calling for the abolition of hydrocarbons, the very substance that had made his company and himself so fabulously rich. His subject was global climate change—in particular, the process by which humans, by burning oil and gas, have been slowly, perhaps irreversibly, warming the earth’s atmosphere.(Source)

Played the Precautionary Principle Game
Browne claims he examined climate science research and spoke with several climate scientists. He concluded, The science wasn’t complete—but science is never complete.But they knew enough to say that there were long-term risks and that precautionary action was necessary if we were to avoid the greater risk—of the evidence mounting to the point where draconian action was unavoidable.(Source)

Who did he speak to? It is hard to believe BP did not have scientists who would know the problems with climate science. The statement suggests he was told the science was lousy so avoided the problem with the standard green justification of the precautionary principle.Browne had already begun changing BP‘s corporate image and direction. The corporate name was officially BP instead of British Petroleum and tacitly promoted to stand for Beyond Petroleum. The corporate logo changed from the mundane shield to the greener image with solar implications. BP began investment in alternate energies and now has a major interest in solar energy panels.The campaign was successful as, a survey of consumers found 21 percent of them thought BP was the greenest of oil companies.Despite its new sunburst logo and Beyond Petroleum slogan, BP still invests $12 billion, or 25 times more, on oil and gas than on its wind and solar division for the simple fact that, right now, there’s a huge market for oil and almost none for solar panels.But this creates a problem for current CEO Tony Hayward who says he wants BP’s alternative energy investments to be more than a publicity exercise, according to FT. To that end, BP will now look at its alternative energy unit as a portfolio of investments which will face deadlines for delivering profits.Hayward is going to have to pursue that in light of the disastrous spill. BP can continue the hypocrisy and play the green card, but they will do it quietly. They will also have to continue ignoring the real science of climate change. Lord Browne may help as colleagues say he is.The issue is not profit; business is about profit. Companies are going green purely for profit and to suggest it is otherwise is pure hypocrisy. It is the hypocrisy of using climate change and pretending to be green as justification. They deceived themselves so they could deceive us.

BP's top kill effort fails to plug Gulf oil leak By BEN NUCKOLS, Associated Press Writer - MAY 30,10 12:01AM

ROBERT, La. – The most ambitious bid yet to stop the worst oil spill in U.S. history ended in failure Saturday after BP was unable to overwhelm the gusher of crude with heavy fluids and junk. President Obama called the setback as enraging as it is heartbreaking.The oil giant immediately began readying its next attempted fix, using robot submarines to cut the pipe that's gushing the oil and cap it with funnel-like device, but the only guaranteed solution remains more than two months away.The company determined the top kill had failed after it spent three days pumping heavy drilling mud into the crippled well 5,000 feet underwater. It's the latest in a series of failures to stop the crude that's fouling marshland and beaches, as estimates of how much oil is leaking grow more dire.The spill is the worst in U.S. history — exceeding even the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster — and has dumped between 18 million and 40 million gallons into the Gulf, according to government estimates.

This scares everybody, the fact that we can't make this well stop flowing, the fact that we haven't succeeded so far, BP PLC Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said Saturday. Many of the things we're trying have been done on the surface before, but have never been tried at 5,000 feet.Frustration has grown as drifting oil closes beaches and washes up in sensitive marshland. The damage is underscored by images of pelicans and their eggs coated in oil. Below the surface, oyster beds and shrimp nurseries face certain death. Fishermen complain there's no end in sight to the catastrophe that's keeping their boats idle.News that the top kill fell short drew a sharply worded response from President Barack Obama, a day after he visited the Gulf Coast to see the damage firsthand.It is as enraging as it is heartbreaking, and we will not relent until this leak is contained, until the waters and shores are cleaned up, and until the people unjustly victimized by this manmade disaster are made whole, Obama said Saturday.In the days after the spill, BP was unable to use robot submarines to close valves on the massive blowout preventer atop the damaged well, then two weeks later ice-like crystals clogged a 100-ton box the company tried placing over the leak. Earlier this week, engineers removed a mile-long siphon tube after it sucked up a disappointing 900,000 gallons of oil from the gusher.

In the latest try, BP engineers pumped more than 1.2 million gallons of heavy drilling mud into the well and also shot in assorted junk, including metal pieces and rubber balls.The hope was that the mud force-fed into the well would overwhelm the upward flow of oil and natural gas. But Suttles said most of the mud escaped out of the damaged pipe that's leaking the oil, called a riser.Suttles said BP is already preparing for the next attempt to stop the leak that began after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in April, killing 11 people.The company plans to use robot submarines to cut off the damaged riser, and then try to cap it with a containment valve. The effort is expected to take between four and seven days.

We're confident the job will work but obviously we can't guarantee success, Suttles said of the new plan, declining to handicap the likelihood it will work.He said that cutting off the damaged riser isn't expected to cause the flow rate of leaking oil to increase significantly.The permanent solution to the leak, a relief well currently being drilled, won't be ready until August, BP says.Experts have said that a bend in the damaged riser likely was restricting the flow of oil somewhat, so slicing it off and installing a new containment valve is risky.If they can't get that valve on, things will get much worse, said Philip W. Johnson, an engineering professor at the University of Alabama. Johnson said he thinks BP can succeed with the valve, but added: It's a scary proposition.Word that the top-kill had failed hit hard in fishing communities along Louisiana's coast.

BP says so far, Gulf well plug isn't working By Ben Nuckols, Associated Press Writer – 3:30PM MAY 29,10

COVINGTON, La. – A risky procedure to stop the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico has yet to show much success, and BP is considering scrapping it in favor of a different method to contain the worst oil spill in U.S. history, an executive said Saturday.The comments from BP PLC chief operating officer Doug Suttles came amid increasing skepticism that the top kill operation — which involves pumping heavy drilling mud into a crippled well 5,000 feet underwater — would halt the leak.The top kill began Wednesday, and to date it hasn't yet stopped the flow, Suttles told reporters at Port Fourchon.What I don't know is whether it ultimately will or not.If the top kill fails, BP would cut off the damaged riser from which the oil is leaking and cap it with a containment valve that's already resting on the seafloor. BP is already preparing for that operation, Suttles said.Since the top kill began Wednesday, BP has pumped huge amounts mud into the well at a rate of up to 2,700 gallons per minute, but it's unclear how much is staying there. A robotic camera on the seafloor appeared to show mud escaping at various times during the operation. On Saturday, the substance spewing from the well appeared to be oil, experts said.BP has also tried several times to shoot assorted junk into the well's crippled blowout preventer to clog it up and force the mud down the well bore. That, too, has met with limited success.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, addressing reporters after he spoke at a high school graduation ceremony in Denver, echoed what Suttles said and said officials were evaluating the next step. He said the relief well was the ultimate solution, but said something was needed to stop the spill until then.We're doing everything with the best minds in the world to make sure that happens, he said.The oil spill began after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in April, killing 11 people. It's the worst spill in U.S. history — exceeding even the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989 off the Alaska coast — dumping between 18 million and 40 million gallons into the Gulf, according to government estimates.Experts and other observers were growing increasingly skeptical that BP would be able to plug the well. Eric Smith, associate director of the Tulane Energy Institute, said Saturday that the top kill appeared headed for failure.They warned us not to draw too many conclusions from the effluent, but ... it doesn't look like it's working, he said.BP had pegged the top kill's chances of success at 60 to 70 percent. The company says the best way to stop the flow of oil is by drilling relief wells, but those won't be completed until August.Chris Roberts, a councilman in Louisiana's Jefferson Parish, said he was frustrated by BP's failures and perceived lack of transparency.We're wondering whether or not they're attempting to give everybody false hope in order to drag out the time until the ultimate resolution to it" — the completion of the relief wells, Roberts said.Meanwhile, Coast Guard and Minerals Management Service officials heard a sixth day of testimony during hearings into the disaster in Kenner.David Sims, BP's drilling operations manager for exploration and appraisal in the Gulf of Mexico, testified he was aware of well problems experienced by the Deepwater Horizon's drilling crew in the weeks and months leading up to the explosion. He said there were no serious problems the day the rig exploded.Online: http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/site/2931/ AP Radio correspondent Shelly Adler and Associated Press writer Ivan Moreno contributed to this report.

22-mile oil plume under Gulf nears rich waters By MATTHEW BROWN and JASON DEAREN, Associated Press Writers – Fri May 28, 10:40 am ET

NEW ORLEANS – A thick, 22-mile plume of oil discovered by researchers off the BP spill site was nearing an underwater canyon, where it could poison the foodchain for sealife in the waters off Florida.The discovery by researchers on the University of South Florida College of Marine Science's Weatherbird II vessel is the second significant undersea plume reported since the Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20. The plume is more than 6 miles wide and its presence was reported Thursday.The cloud was nearing a large underwater canyon whose currents fuel the foodchain in Gulf waters off Florida and could potentially wash the tiny plants and animals that feed larger organisms in a stew of toxic chemicals, another researcher said Friday.

Larry McKinney, executive director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, said the DeSoto Canyon off the Florida Panhandle sends nutrient-rich water from the deep sea up to shallower waters.McKinney said that in a best-case scenario, oil riding the current out of the canyon would rise close enough to the surface to be broken down by sunlight. But if the plume remains relatively intact, it could sweep down the west coast of Florida as a toxic soup as far as the Keys, through what he called some of the most productive parts of the Gulf.The plume was detected just beneath the surface down to about 3,300 feet, said David Hollander, associate professor of chemical oceanography at USF.Hollander said the team detected the thickest amount of hydrocarbons, likely from the oil spewing from the blown out well, at about 1,300 feet in the same spot on two separate days this week.The discovery was important, he said, because it confirmed that the substance found in the water was not naturally occurring and that the plume was at its highest concentration in deeper waters. The researchers will use further testing to determine whether the hydrocarbons they found are the result of dispersants or the emulsification of oil as it traveled away from the well.The first such plume detected by scientists stretched from the well southwest toward the open sea, but this new undersea oil cloud is headed miles inland into shallower waters where many fish and other species reproduce.

The researchers say they are worried these undersea plumes may be the result of the unprecedented use of chemical dispersants to break up the oil a mile undersea at the site of the leak.Hollander said the oil they detected has dissolved into the water, and is no longer visible, leading to fears from researchers that the toxicity from the oil and dispersants could pose a big danger to fish larvae and creatures that filter the waters for food.There are two elements to it, Hollander said.The plume reaching waters on the continental shelf could have a toxic effect on fish larvae, and we also may see a long term response as it cascades up the food web.Dispersants contain surfactants, which are similar to dishwashing soap.A Louisiana State University researcher who has studied their effects on marine life said that by breaking oil into small particles, surfactants make it easier for fish and other animals to soak up the oil's toxic chemicals. That can impair the animals' immune systems and cause reproductive problems.The oil's not at the surface, so it doesn't look so bad, but you have a situation where it's more available to fish,said Kevin Kleinow, a professor in LSU's school of veterinary medicine.

Americans wait to learn if top kill will stop oil By BEN NUCKOLS and GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writers - MAY 29,10

ROBERT, La. – Two days after BP began a risky effort to stop a gushing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, company officials said the operation was going as planned but offered few details, leaving the nation in suspense about whether its worst oil spill would end any time soon.BP PLC warned that it could be Sunday or later before the outcome of its bid to plug the well through an effort known as a top kill would succeed.Experts said they could see incremental progress at best from BP's spillcam of mud, gas and oil billowing from the seafloor. The hypnotic video has become an Internet sensation as Americans watch and try to fathom whether BP's efforts are working.Scientists say the images may offer clues to whether BP is getting the upper hand in its struggle to contain the oil, said Tony Wood, director of the National Spill Control School at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi. If the stuff coming out of the pipe is jet black, it is mostly oil and BP is losing. If it is whitish, it is mostly gas and BP is also losing.If it is muddy brown, as it was much of Friday, that may be a sign that BP is starting to win, he said. That may in fact mean that there's mud coming up and mud coming down as well, which is better than oil coming out, Wood said.Philip W. Johnson, an engineering professor at the University of Alabama, said the camera appeared to show mostly drilling mud leaking from the well Friday morning, and two of the leaks appeared a little smaller than in the past, suggesting the top kill may have had a slight but not dramatic effect.

But Bob Bea, a professor of engineering at University of California at Berkeley who has studied offshore drilling for 55 years, said late Friday that what he saw didn't look promising.He likened the effort to pushing food into a reluctant baby's mouth — it only works if the force of the stuff going down is more than the force of what's coming up.It's obvious that the baby's spitting the baby food back because the pressure pushing up from the well is stronger, Bea said.Meanwhile, President Barack Obama visited the coast Friday to see the damage as he tried to emphasize that his administration was in control of the crisis, which began April 20 when the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform blew up and killed 11 workers.I'm here to tell you that you are not alone, you will not be abandoned, you will not be left behind, he told people in Grand Isle, where the beach has been closed by gobs of oil and the frustration and anger are palpable.The media may get tired of the story, but we will not. We will be on your side and we will see this through.He also urged the public to volunteer to join the cleanup and for tourists to help by visiting the majority of the region's coastline that is untouched.Hundreds of workers hit the beaches ahead of Obama's visit, cleaning debris from the shoreline before they hopped on buses and left soon after the president arrived.This is the cleanest I've ever seen the beach, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said. We saw a surge of activity the last couple of days. Let's hope it continues now that he's gone.The top kill operation began Wednesday, with BP pumping heavy drilling mud into the blown-out well in an effort to choke off the source of the spill which has released anywhere from 18 million gallons to 40 million of oil by the government's estimate.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said the denser-than-water mud had pushed down the oil and gas that's forcing its way up from underground, but the mud had not overwhelmed the gusher.BP has brought in about 2.5 million gallons of drilling mud for the top kill. BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said Friday the procedure was going basically as planned, though the pumping has stopped several times.The fact that it's stopped and started is not unusual, Suttles said.We're going to stay at this as long as we need to.He said the company has also shot in assorted junk, including metal pieces and rubber balls, which seemed to be helping to counter pressure from the well. The first infusion of junk was Thursday evening. A top kill has never been attempted 5,000 feet underwater, and public fascination is high. BP, under pressure from Congress, made available a live video feed of what is going on underwater, and about 3,000 websites were showing a version of it that the PBS "Newshour" offered for free. On Thursday alone, show spokeswoman Anne Bell said, more than a million people watched it. Many found it hypnotic. It made me wonder how I use energy and if this situation could teach us how much energy we use ourselves,said Jeb Banner, 38, a web design and marketing company owner in Indianapolis who has been looking at the feed every hour or so since before the top kill started.It felt like a historic moment.BP says the best way to stop the oil for good is a relief well, but it won't be complete until August. The company had been drilling a second relief well as a backup — Obama said Thursday his administration pushed for it in case the first one did not stop the oil — but work on that has stopped while the rig that had been drilling it works on another option for stopping the oil. We actually started that well before this job started, so you shouldn't read that as any indication of anything about the top kill job, BP's Suttles said Friday. Billy Ward, a developer who was building a gated fishing community that is now on hold because of the spill, said that Obama's visit was for show and that there was really nothing the president could do. It's the unknown that's killing us, said Ward, who comes to Grand Isle with his family every weekend to stay in their beach house.We don't know if it's going to be six months or six years before we get back to normal, if ever. All we can do is pray.Online: http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/site/2931/
