Nah, i wasnt gunna but i am. Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide are only released through heat. So the burning off of the oil does release this, no question. However the oil that is actually in the water, will only release Hydrogen Sulfide after bacteria begin to break it down which yes also causes acid rain, but it has to be in very large quantities and it has to pollute the atmosphere to a certain point before that happens. The oil in the water itself wont get hot enough to release any gas, its the bacteria. The methane gases and other gases coming from the well so far haven't been accurately measured yet, so thats anyone's guess. The dispersant though are almost positively going to be able to turn to vapor and make its way into the atmosphere so once that gets concentrated enough its anyone's guess as to what will happen, people getting rained on by toxic dispersant im guessing. One fact is, at this point there hasnt been any literally zero acid rain, anywhere at all, when there is ill prolly just feel sad for the people going through it, instead of embarrassed i made a bad prediction. Maybe i was being too optimistic when i said there wont be acid rain, but shit vato cant we have a little golden lining somewhere in this shit storm happening. And ive never been a member of icmag, or RIU?, not sure what that is. Lets keep it civil, if not just a little bit more civil.
