Yes that is exactly what Corexit it designed to do, clump the oil into balls and make it sink. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

...and their catch all have 2 eyes instead of three.
Dance on our lowly graves in a few years, when there is no evidence of birth defect or cancer rate increases.
that will be next summer. i know i'll be there mixing it up!
Feel free to school us when the gulf tourism industry is back to its old self, with people flocking to the beaches and waters of the gulf.
I feel sorry for you that the disaster you were hoping for didn't happen...i lie, i don't feel sorry for you, i'm glad i was right the while time.
I for one truly, deeply hope you can come back and do so...but the fact is we all watched that oil spew day after day...it didn't magically disappear. We have the facts on corexit, on methane levels, on the toxicity of beach conditions in spite of massive oil buildup.
So quit peacocking and use you brain.

I'm sorry but it is not time for your victory dance, there is much more evidence we have yet to see. Come back and gloat in a year, when the fishing industry is thriving again, and their catch all have 2 eyes instead of three.

So where did the oil go? "Some of the oil evaporates," explains Edward Bouwer, professor of environmental engineering at Johns Hopkins University. That’s especially true for the more toxic components of oil, which tend to be very volatile, he says. Jeffrey W. Short, a scientist with the environmental group Oceana, told the New York Times that as much as 40 percent of the oil might have evaporated when it reached the surface. High winds from two recent storms may have speeded the evaporation process.
