‘So Much for the Great Oil Disaster’

Writes Josiah Schmidt:

This is pretty chuckle-worthy.  It now seems that about a third of the oil from the infamous BP oil spill has already evaporated into the atmosphere (where it will become so dispersed as to not really have any noticeable effect).  Furthermore, “virtually all” of the toxic element of the oil (benzene) will soon have evaporated as well.  Some globs of oil may wash up to shore, but whatever remains will apparently sink down to the sea floor and just become part of the sedimentation.

So much for the great oil disaster.
