Hurricanes form when common natural forces and
phenomena come into confluence. The forces and phenomena include the
Coriolis effect, temperature and humidity differentials, and
relatively flat water surfaces that are present in the proper
combination. The resulting confluence can form a hurricane. |

Millions of
gallons of oil have been spewing into the Gulf of Mexico for months
from a sea floor that is one mile below the surface. There is no
predictable end. This oil is forming an emulsification that is
flowing upward and across at various sub-sea levels across the Gulf
region. |
|
This
emulsification is of varying content and consistency. In some forms
this emulsified substance consists of relatively large clumps and
balls of oil. In other forms the emulsification consists of small
droplets and micro-droplets of oil. |

Hurricanes |
|
The summer of 2010
is predicted to be rich in hurricanes. Regardless of how many
hurricanes there are, as they form and travel across the Gulf of
Mexico, they will do as they always do. That is, they will draw
upward the water from the sea and Gulf into their high energy,
spinning hurricane bodies. The 2010 hurricane season will be
different from all previous seasons. The hurricanes of 2010 and
beyond will uplift an oil-water emulsification. This emulsification
will be transported within each hurricane. |
|
Hurricanes
dissipate -- lose energy -- when they reach land. However,
hurricanes continue to exist as weather elements. They transport
their contents along with their slowing, but still high-speed winds,
well past the shoreline of the US Gulf states. |
|
In 2010, and to
some unknown extent in future years, Gulf hurricanes that hit the US
mainland will contain not only moisture, but the oil-water
emulsification that was lifted into these hurricanes during their
travel across the Gulf. |
|
The
oil-water sludge emulsification
uplifted into hurricanes and to some unknown
magnitude, uplifted into the upper atmosphere,
will travel northward, and eventually be
deposited upon the Midwest and
the eastern USA. Also, the oil-water
emulsification will be carried by the Gulf
stream around Florida, into the Coastal Waterway, up the east coast
as well as out into the Atlantic Ocean. |
|
|
Farmlands & Population
Centers |
|
As these
hurricanes travel upward across the Midwest and then eastward, they
will continue to dissipate. As they dissipate, normally hurricanes
disperse their rain across the farmlands and population centers of
the Midwest and east. |
|
Hurricanes of 2010
and beyond will be carrying not only moisture, but also the
oil-water emulsification that was drawn upward into them as they
traveled across the Gulf. |
|
This oil-water
emulsification will be deposited upon farmland growing crops
including wheat, corn, soy, and livestock feed. |
|
The USA has
not yet begun to experience the
potential damages
caused by the Gulf oil leak. |
|
|
BP & Government |
|
BP believed it could
buy off politicians and flaunt regulations. That was BP's formula
for success. BP increased its profits by cutting drilling safety
expenses and safeguards. BP escaped scrutiny by paying off
politicians and regulators to skip reviews and avoid fining the
company. |
|
However, BP's
reckless behavior has resulted in one of the worst ecological
disasters in history. Long term effects could include much more than
despoiled shoreline and dead animals. It could include the lost
lives and livelihoods of people around the world. It could include
the food shortages, resulting hunger, and higher food and energy
prices brought on by the reduced quantities of corn, soy, wheat,
vegetables, beef, pork, and other foodstuff produced by the US. |
|
|
Imagine how much this reign of terror
might have been alleviated if the US government and BP had seriously
attacked the oil leakage with international assistance to match the
desperate situation the world could find itself in. |
