Strangely enough, about a week after I posted about the Gulf Oil Spill and the potential for disaster from a hurricane, NOAA, which is of course a government agency, published an article on the same issue. What I find really strange is that they say the exact opposite, but in many ways couch their statements with wording that leads me to believe they are just trying to soothe say the entire issue. Just like BP and the government has been doing about the entire oil spill.
Here's NOAA's statement on oil in the rain from a hurricane:
"Will there be oil in the rain related to a hurricane?
• No. Hurricanes draw water vapor from a large area, much larger than the area covered by oil, and rain is produced in clouds circulating the hurricane.
NOAA tries to tell us that a hurricane won't be influenced by the oil because it picks up water from a bigger area. Sure. Are they trying to say it won't pick up the oil laden water too? They say the water from a hurricane is produced in the clouds. For God's sake, man. The water in the clouds is picked up from the water's surface, and that will contain oil! And these people are scientists trying to feed us this this crap? Do they think we're all that stupid that we can't see the illogic in what they're saying here?
Sadly, I used to have a lot of faith in NOAA, and think highly of their ability to function independently of the charlatans and shifters in Washington. This changes things for me. I don't know about you, but it sure makes me suspicious of their statements and seems they must be just as much willing to sacrifice credibility as anyone else in that bunch, to help dismiss what could happen before many weeks or months pass.
