Top Kill: Reflections of the Deepwater Horizon

CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.

What about the future? As carbon dioxide emissions increase, the temperature should continue to rise. I expect the rate of warming to proceed at a steady pace, about one and a half degrees over land in the next 50 years, less if the oceans are included. But if China continues its rapid economic growth (it has averaged 10 percent per year over the last 20 years) and its vast use of coal (it typically adds one new gigawatt per month), then that same warming could take place in less than 20 years.

After years of denying global warming, physicist Richard Muller now says "global warming is real and humans are almost entirely the cause." The admission by Muller, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley and founder of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project, has gained additional attention because some of his research has been funded by Charles Koch of the Koch Brothers, the right-wing billionaire known for funding climate skeptic groups like the Heartland Institute. "We can make the scientific case more solidly than had been made in the past," Muller claims. "I think this does say we do need to take action, we do need to do something about it."

Brilliantly played.

The so-called environmentalist left should lap this up like puppy dogs.

Where’s access to my personal smilies when I need them? The morphed image of Bush-Obama.

This one will do for now. I suppose.

I see a graveyard's past
The revolution's taken back
Whatever happened to the sons
No more sunshine here
Only darkness here
There's no-one living in this town

Cause the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
In the town

Mother mary comes to me
In this graveyard of hypocricy
But father renta says i'll have to pay
In the dead are buried lies
A sinful phantom cries
Can't we just rest up on the hill

But the moonlight calls us
The moon, it calls us
Up and out into the town
Yes, the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
In the town

Heaven does it come to me
In the dreaming that my soul's been freed
And the torment of my madness gone away
And though god says he loves
And i, i think of love
I cannot change the way i am

And so the moon, it calls me
The lunatic calls me
Up and out into the town
Yes, the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
In the town

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, also known as the BP Oil Disaster or Macondo Blowout, is the largest subsea oil, methane hydrate, and gas release caused by the activities of the petroleum industry. After numerous attempts to regain control of the blowout, the well was capped on July 15, 2010 after flowing unbridled for almost four months. One such attempt to contain the oil and gas was known as “Top Kill”.

In mid May 2010, almost a month after the Deepwater Horizon explosion, Senator Ed Markey pressured BP to provide live video coverage of the underwater flow of oil and gas. BP answered the demand with Markey responding, “Now anyone will be able to see the realtime effects the BP spill is having on our ocean.” Internet sites were rife with people sharing computer screenshots and video captured from the live feeds as seen through the lens of ROV cameras operated from 5000 feet above.

Top Kill: Reflections of the Deepwater Horizon depicts not only images of oil and gas raging from corroded and twisted metal pipes: It reflects a moment when a community shared a voyeuristic fixation, shock and grief, and seemingly spontaneous reaction of, “What have we done?” – a sentiment read on numerous social networking sites. Coupled with passages from the Gnostic Gospel, Pistis Sophia, the imagery imparts a deeper reflection on what takes place below the surface.

“The Story of Pistis Sophia” is Jesus’ account of his encounter with Pistis Sophia, the female divinity of gnosticism, during his descent and assent into transfiguration between the time of his earthly death and resurrection. Jesus tells his disciples, inclusive of Mary Magdalene, Martha, and his Mother Mary, the journey, oppression, and defilement Pistis Sophia endured to reclaim her higher region.

Computer screenshots were taken from May 27 to June 4, 2010 from various live-feed internet links. U.S. Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) was chair of the House Energy and Environmental Subcommittee during the 111th Congress. The gospel Pistis Sophia can be accessed from The Gnostic Society Library website.

"Bait Mate"
There are several sets in support of the
(global revolution/evolution)
set that point to a
(woman(red dress, red hair, red aspect) who is
(sitting on a concrete structure)
and is (acting as bait) in a (very dangerous ploy).

Among the many interesting parts of the details of this situation are those pointing to a (mathematician) being (involved) in the (creation of the trap)
as well as a (depth of commitment) by the (local populace)
to the (trap as strategy) approach
to their (current suppression) of problems.
This area has a high (visiblity) sub set
so the interpretation is that a discussion
about it will circulate around the net
