And your charts show "predictions" for the oil on the surface. That below the surface what of it?????
And just because the oil goes where you think it may I ask you: what about the marine life? Do they read the same charts or attend the same press conferences you did?
All of your questions were answered in the hazardous materials certification class I attended, and that BP paid for...they certified 100 voluteers at the local college in Key West...it's in the paper today...keysnews.com
What the "experts" told us (experts being in the U.S.) is that this is a Gulf of Mexico event with the potential to move south, then east, then NORTH up the U.S. coast....with northern Cuba
possibly seeing some of the oil.
They were direct in saying the southern Caribbean would not be affected due to....
1) Gulf/ocean currents
2) Winds
3) dilution of the sub-surface pollution due to water column depths
4) evaporation of the surface oil pollution due to time on the surface
5) deterioration of the oil itself due to movement over time/distance
Why was the Caribbean brought up? Because some will be moving their larger vessels (you know, the big white ones with tinted windows) south to avoid oiling of their hulls.
Even if a hurricane hits the GULF, it will not send oil to the DR.
Whatever fisheries you have will remain as they are, whatever breeds in your waters will continue to do so and whatever is dead in your waters will remain dead.
The oil is over 1000 miles from Santo Domingo as the pigeon flies and there's a lot of deep water and land mass between you and it....take a breath, pour some more booze and find another argument, this one is done...
