ok i havent checked the logistics on this, just an idea in my widdle bwain. First, energy never dies it just gets weaker, over time, or if something powerful interacts with it, it converts. for example if you hit a wall the energy in your arm goes into the wall n affects the walll in some way unless its brick haah. Now oil on water calms water. The waves in the ocean contain massive amounts of energy, so where did the energy go? Things take the path of least resistance, so rather than down to the ocean bottom building up more pressure, it seems to me it would go up into the atmosphere. AND, that oil came up from the bottom of the seabed. Had to change the temp of the water. Now think about el nino and el nina n the weather systems they are responsible for. Lastly, look at past maps n see where all that flooding came from a couple weeks ago (n tornadoes) - right up from the exact part of the gulf the oil spill was. Now I believe we here may expect normal weather since the oil is now in the gulf stream headed into the Atlantic, but who knows what it may cause. More rogue waves to swamp ships in the "notorious" Bermuda Triangle? East tracking weather systems? problems in Europe or Africa? or will the massive atlantic swallow it up? WE will see.
