Scientist Recants on Gulf Oil Spill Claim

by bubbanomics

From the Guardian:

In an appearance before Congress, Bill Lehr, a senior scientist at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) offered a very different account of the oil that poured into the Gulf, appearing to contradict the official report from two weeks ago that he wrote, which suggested the majority of the oil had been captured or broken down

"I would say most of that is still in the environment," Lehr told the House energy and commerce committee.

His statement is bound to deepen a sense of outrage in the scientific community that the White House is hiding data and spinning the science of the oil spill.
