Much of the reasoning behind the disappearing oil has to do with the natural resilience of the Gulf, which is teeming with microbes that eat oil. On top of that is the natural tendency of oil in seawater to evaporate and dissolve to half its volume in about a week — something even critics acknowledge.
Ummm, Yeah… 69% of the oil is no longer in the Gulf of Mexico. That means only 31% is left. Yeah, I believe that.
