Weren't there all sorts of reports that there were leaks from the ocean floor, with oil leaking out in amounts that made the BP spill look like bupkis?
And yet there was not a permanent sheen on the Gulf, or permanent ring of oil at the shoreline.
And did nobody wonder why?
And then someone suddenly "discovered" this "new microbe. Sort of like Columbus discovered the North American continent.
Nothing new here, folks, except that somebody finally noticed it.
stay safe.
