Paul Noel: “If the sea floor collapses we could have a much bigger problem”

[edit on 10-7-2010 by jazz10]

99.99% of the opinions regarding this event is that it's HUGE!!!.. Go on TV, radio, Internet.... this thing is HUGE. There are those who seem to relish in the potential magnitude of this thing... those like Lindsey Williams, the "Chaplin" who reveres "The Elite" as much as God. "I beg ya... get ma DVDs" ...

Anyway... the problem is NO ONE except BP, HAS BEEN DOWN THERE TO SEE THE DAMN HOLE!!!

Way to contribute to the discussion, genius. Have you even been paying attention? We're sitting on a bomb that is ticking off its last few seconds and all you can do is riff on your lame Gordon Ramsay imitation. Pffft!!!!!!!!!

My first comment is all these threads deserve.

Care to expound? Your first comment on ATS is a comment simply about you commenting? Do you not feel that the Gulf Gusher deserves to be discussed and do you feel its being blown out of proportion?

Please, spell out your opinion of these threads.

Oh wait... the light bulb just went off. Bollocks is a British slang word used as a vulgarity. You.................. are British. Does BP's rise and fall affect you personally? monetarily??

You sit on your side of the ocean and declare the whole thread rubbish. Try bringing your skeptic rump over here and taking a look for yourself before you shout "BOLLOCKS". Get your hands dirty cleaning up the mess before you shout BS.

If the sea bed is rising, then would the Sea level also rise in the area?

I.e. - Resulting in higher tides?
And yes, taking into acount any stormy weather/sea swelling.

If the sea bed is rising, it is a slow lurching process and would probably not cause anything beyond just displacing gulf water, which would flow back into the Atlantic stream.

Count the stars....
Its not a doomsday event...
I do feel for the animals...
Plus I bet you have been nowhere near it or helped in any way apart from being an internet hero..
Edit to add, did you fix the light bulb?

After a quick internet search I can find no citations indicating the seabed in the Gulf of Mexico is rising, just some posts on sites like GLP. I did, however find this:


"Coastal and Marine Geology Program Internet Map Server:
U.S. Gulf of Mexico region"
coastalmap.marine.usgs.gov...

Perhaps some knowlegeable member is able to interpret the data.

I'm sure I'm losing my mind because of the Deepwater Disaster. I just know I've posted in this thread at least 20 times, but I can't find any of my posts.

No, I haven't but you can bet I'll be out helping when it gets to a shore near me!

That some scary s***t. Do you suppose that people are being selected for underground survival bunkers as we speak?

No don't go down them because demonds live in them and this BP leak may have realeased monsters from the after life !

Before you pack in hopes of being selected maybe you would like to know that 1m gallons a day only produces a 1" think film on the surface that could be contained within 1m sq meters or put another way 1 sq km ?

money has been made from this even before it started by golden sach, during the event by Haliburton and after the event it will be a personal carbon tax they are trying to push through on the back of this and maybe they want so cheap coatal real estate but this is not a end of days event by any means and a thread with a title like this one poped up last week also.

Follow the money

Also the Corexit scare,.. no facts to back that up either.

But the oil is now flowing up the east coast Correct?

[edit on 10-7-2010 by randyvs]

Randy,.. I havn't heard anything of the sort yet.. I think that would have made the news already..

Well, let's hope the relief wells actually work. The situation is bad - there is no denying that. As far as a doomsday event - it is 100% guaranteed that we will find out eventually !!

It certainly is an economic doomsday for many of the Florida communities that have seen tourism drop off significantly. We could, I think, see this "assist" in pushing the US deeper into a depression. But then, if the world is going to end in a single sensational mass-extinction event - it really doesn't matter anyway.

Good luck, everyone.

I agree... the situation is bad... Also when a person is having a panic attack, in the large majority of cases they're in no danger of dying, but they sure feel like they're dying so to them "the situation is bad."

They're sure doing a good job scaring people to get the hell out of there and if they don't panic and leave they may have to start applying more corexit.

Oh, more gos sake, the british bashing is absurd.

BP is a publicly traded company. Much of it owned by Americans.

It's like a cult in here, if you have even the slightest bit of cautious skepticism at the flood of Worst Case theories, the ZOMG!ers will have your throat!

BELIEVE THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD OR WE WILL KILL YOU!!!!!

I don't think it's doomsday when it happens, but it will certainly trigger many other events to make this day come quicker...

WRONG! Plenty to back up the Corexit issue! Sorry I don't know how to link and stuff but check out the thread,' Toxocologist: Corexit destroys basic biological structure of life'. On page 6 I have shared Nalco's Safety Data Sheet info. Nalco are the company that make Corexit 9500 and 9527. Lethal stuff.
Illegal in the UK since 1998. FACT!

Here is an interview done on C2C with a Mass Extinction expert:
