Recent Updates for Unified Command for the BP Oil Spill | Deepwater Horizon Response

I must apologize to my loyal subscribers for my extended absence. For the past few months I have been feverishly working to get 5 manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals. But I felt the lies, double talk, and deception on the part of BP needed addressing. Yes, scientists have not found high concentration plumes, but as I point out here, low concentration plumes hold horrific volumes of oil. It’s like saying, the earth hasn’t exploded, therefore this disaster isn’t that bad.
