5/19/10: Scientist Steve Wereley debunks the claims by BP about the scale and importance of the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.

Well folks, we’re in to the sixth week of what is looking more and more like the worst man made environmental disaster in the history of the world.. At first, BP and their minions on the 6 o’clock TV news, were trying to contain the scope of this disaster with total lies as usual. No matter what they do from here on in, it is going to be a lot harder to lie about it. What we need is millions of us to pitch in and rent a submersible robot cam. Physically go to the Gulf, and push BP and the national guard who appears to be aiding in this cover up, out of our way, to have a look for our selves at what they have done now. There are many reports of good people trying to apply their know how into this mess. Only to be refused by BP so they can attempt their half-wit idea of plugging the chasm with golf balls. Special thanx to bubba008009 and the thesludgereport2 for their excellent report on the benzene factor.
