“Has the oil spill created a doomsday scenario” for the Gulf? MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann asks. I didn’t use the word Doomsday — they did. It’s not good to predict things will get too horrible because that just gives the “denialist” movement more to complain about. So let’s just say things could possibly get even worse.

Today on another MSNBC show I happened to catch another new graphic showing the oil traveling around the west coast of Florida, entering the loop current, and going up the east and southern coasts of Florida and then up the Atlantic side of the U.S. Given all the devastation that is probably going to cause, I doubt BP will be with us much longer. RIP, BP. Another talking head was talking about setting off a nuclear bomb, an idea I’m seeing more and more online. For the record, the Obama administration has said that idea is nowhere on the table, and it shouldn’t be.

This clip from Countdown features oil and gas expert Robert Cavnar talking about the potential of an “underground blowout, ” or oil forced out through the ocean floor due to high pressures from the attempts at drilling and capping so far. This is probably why the “Top Kill” procedure was stopped so abruptly — U.S. scientists, including Steven Chu, discovered that the pressures under the ocean floor had built up to levels that could blow the whole thing underground. And that would be kind of a “beyond doomsday” scenario, according to Mr. Olbermann. If this clip seems uncomfortably terrifying, keep in mind that Olbermann’s job is to anger people and keep his ratings up. That is not to say this couldn’t happen though. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida thinks it is happening already.

It also seems very odd to me, suspicious even, that there aren’t hundreds of ships in the Gulf sucking up this oil somehow. It can be done. People have been sending in ideas on how to do it for weeks. Yet there is hardly anything out there — visibly — absorbing this oil. That is the reason so many conspiracy theories are making the rounds, and why some of them are kind of believable.

Below is more information on the possibilities of this “doomsday” (not my word!) scenario occurring, according to Senator Bill Nelson of Florida and another source.
