he British
Petroleum oil spill is threatening the entire eastern half of the North
American continent with "total destruction," reports say.
An ominous report by Russias Ministry of Natural Resources warned
of the impending disaster resulting from the British Petroleum (BP) oil
and gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico, calling it the worst environmental
catastrophe in all of human history, the European Union Times reported.
Russian scientists believe BP is pumping millions of gallons of
Corexit 9500, a chemical dispersal agent, under the Gulf of Mexico
waters to hide the full extent of the leak, now estimated to be over 2.9
million gallons a day.
Experts say Corexit 9500 is a solvent four times more toxic than
oil.
The agent, scientists believe, has a 2.61ppm toxicity level, and
when mixed with the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, its molecules
will be able to “phase transition.”
This transition involves the change of the liquid into a gaseous
state, which can be absorbed by clouds. The gas will then be released as
“toxic rain” leading to “unimaginable environmental catastrophe”
destroying all life forms from the “bottom of the evolutionary chart to
the top,” the report said.
