| 1. in the Gulf the black oil could increase sea temps |
|
it is also causing large areas of de-oxygenated water that will also be getting hotter. Once it gets hotter, you know it helps them get stronger, faster.

| 2. I've been wondering the same thing. |
|
I don't know much about the Atlantic, but the Gulf is already very warm during the Summer. If the oil makes the water attract more sunlight and causes it to heat up, we're in for a hell of a ride.

| 3. I wondered about the effect of the oil on evaporation and inland rain... |
|
How much rain in the eastern US come from water evaporated from the Gulf?
