GOM, REDUX

The latest from NOAA, (h/t Oil Drum):
"There is no clear way for oil to be transported to Southern Florida, the Florida Keys or along the East Coast of the United States unless the loop current fully reforms with Eddy Franklin, or moves northward, neither of which is likely to happen for several months. At that point, essentially all of the remaining surface oil will have dissipated."
Once again facts, those "stubborn things", trump hysteria and BS from the MSM and BP haters. As the oil dissipates, gets eaten by bugs and cleaned from any remaining beaches, the hysteriasphere has to fall back on conspiracy theories that would make the craziest of the Tin Foil Hat crowd wonder "Damn! Why didn't I think of that!"
Ned reminds his readers of the NYT breathless article quoting an "expert" who said that BP would "probably" go bankrupt from claims made by British and Mediterranean plaintiffs, whose careers and lives were destroyed by the spill. At the time Ned referred to such charges as "preposterous," and now, perhaps like the proverbial stopped clock, Ned has been proved right (again.)
UPDATE: NYT WEDNESDAY HEADLINE "U.S. Finds Most Oil From Spill Poses Little Additional Risk"
