As recently as last week, BP officials said they were not convinced [1] of the existence of those giant, underwater oil plumes that independent scientists had discovered in the Gulf of Mexico.
Perhaps this will dispel their doubts: The government confirmed the existence of these plumes this morning.
Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told The Associated Press that the water tests showed “there is definitely oil sub surface [2],” even if it is at very low concentrations.
BP CEO Tony Hayward had previously told The AP that “the oil is on the surface [3],” and “there aren’t any plumes.”
