4.9 million barrels doesn't just vanish. It took three months to pump that much into the ocean, it certainly is not "gone" all by itself in less than a month.
Lies. $.02

Here's the thing, all these scientists saying there's no more oil in the gulf, yeah because it is in the marshes and at the bottom. The douchebags out there taking water samples out in the ocean need to come up into the vast bayous and take some samples there. Read close when you come across the articles claiming the oil is going away. They keep talking about the ocean and the gulf, and well the oil at this point isn't just floating around on the surface of the gulf. Some of it is, but most of it is in the giant underwater plumes and in the bayous.
And for those spouting off about these "oil eating microbes," what they don't tell you is that when that occurs, what you end up with is DEAD ZONE in the water. There's already lots of dead zone down here from this, oil in the bayou isn't new. So no matter what, they might eat the oil, but it doesn't fix the delicate ecosystem. No fish or things will live in the dead zones for a long time.
They're saying the cleanup will go on until at least December now, as new reports come out when they are finding the oil. They've barely cleaned anything up! It is fucked.
