Rob's House Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 So wait, IF you are right, that means Obama acted appropriately and did a good job. Sucks for you.

Is see an ocean full of invisible floating micro logs From what I understand, the microbes deplete the area of oxygen, creating dead areas. The poison dispersants that were used have been making the problem worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is see an ocean full of invisible floating micro logs Simply put, the microbes take the carbon out or break down the long chain hydrocarbons (oil) and combine the simple carbon with available nitrogen to make amino acids for growth. After the microbes die they go through a process of nitrification where nitrates are formed. Nitrates are a readily available form of nitrogen that plant life can take up and use. Yes, the microbes use oxygen during respiration but it's oxygen depletion impact on a large body of water like the ocean is minimal at best.

whateverdude Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 When you view things through the prism of time there is no such thing as a environmental disaster; whether it be people or oil it's all just plant food in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
