It's always fascinating to me how a natural substance made by nature, oozing from the earth in its unadulterated state, is referred to as "pollution".
Fascinating.

As is your apparent definition...
He didn't say anything about 'unnatural'.

So at best the only distinction you can really point to is one of causation.
Then in this case, the poster's use of the term 'pollution' would still stand, wouldn't it?

In addition to the aquatic environment, which is usually a sea, but might also be a river, lake, coral reef or algal mat, the formation of an oil or gas reservoir also requires a sedimentary basin that passes through four steps: deep burial under sand and mud, pressure cooking, hydrocarbon migration from the source to the reservoir rock, and trapping by impermeable rock. Timing is also an important consideration; it is suggested that the Ohio River Valley could have had as much oil as the Middle East at one time, but that it escaped due to a lack of traps.

the mainstream media does their best to ignore the situation and ignore the fact that this oil does NOT go away magically!!!
its sickening how they pretend that everything is fine and that all the oil has been collected or dispersed far into where itll never come back.
i cant believe the magnitude that the white man has done to this planet

Oil biodegrades within ocean water within a few months.
If it was dropped to the seabed with corexit or other dispersants, than it would not resurface because it has been chemically altered.
Any oil on the surface now is new oil, from within the past few weeks to a month or so.
