Storm Threat in Gulf Halts Most Work at Oil Spill Site

As many of us watch the News Media's and the way they continue to spread news. Others are going out finding out the Real news. Now compare this video with the News below. Make any sense to you?

clipped from www.nytimes.com The government said Thursday that BP’s oil well in the Gulf of Mexico would be left closed off and unattended if a storm that is headed for the area forced ships to evacuate. At the well site, 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, most work was halted Thursday as a newly formed tropical depression threatened to delay for a week or more the effort to permanently seal off the gusher. The National Weather Service said on Thursday that the tropical depression, the third so far in what is expected to be a busy hurricane season, had formed in the Bahamas. Its track was expected to run to the northwest into the Gulf of Mexico. A spokesman for the private weather service Accuweather said the storm would probably intensify and become a tropical storm, with winds of perhaps 50 miles per hour. It will probably reach the area of the well site late Saturday or early Sunday, the spokesman said.

  BP and the Coast Guard sent oil-scooping skimming ships in the Gulf of Mexico back to shore Tuesday because nasty weather from Tropical Storm Alex churned up rough seas and powerful winds.
  U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Dave French said all efforts had been halted for now off the Louisiana coast. Efforts also had been halted off the coasts of Florida, Alabama and Louisiana.
  French said workers were using the time off the water to replenish supplies and perform maintenance work on equipment.

  U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Dave French said all efforts had been halted for now off the Louisiana coast, as well as the coasts of Florida , Alabama and Mississippi.
  "We're ready to go as soon as conditions allow us to get those people back out and fighting this oil spill," French told the Associated Press. The loss of skimming work combined with 25 mph gusts driving water into the coast has left beaches in the region especially vulnerable. Alabama 's normally white beaches were streaked with long lines of oil, and tar balls collected on the sand. One swath of beach 40 feet wide was stained brown and mottled with globs of oil matted together.

Guatemala was hit hardest, with at least 92 deaths, 54 people missing and 59 injured, emergency officials said.

Gore Attaches Global Warming as Cause to Last Weekend's Storm in Northeast

Al Gore via last.fm

Follow the rules now and send Al Gore all your money for a hopeless cause. Meanwhile, Rockets, missiles and heavy gunfire go on polluting all over the rest of the World. Ahhhh! but, that don't matter. It's all your fault for driving your car to work.

clipped from www.businessandmedia.org Former vice president points toward weather events as evidence of climate change during 'strategy conference call' for supporters. If there’s a drought – it’s global warming. When there’s a hurricane – it’s global warming. If there are heavy snows or even blizzards – it’s somehow global warming. And amazingly, the latest round of rainy and windy weather in the Northeast, well that’s consistent with this phenomenon as well, so says former Vice President Al Gore. Gore, the self-anointed climate change alarmist-in-chief, told supporters on a March 15 conference call that severe weather in certain regions of the country could be attributed to carbon in the atmosphere – including the recent rash of rainy weather. Gore’s remarks are consistent with the media view of the issue. Journalists have repeatedly preferred the alarmist view on the climate over any opposition even when the weather is inconveniently different than predicted.
