barrels of oil, again that they re accounting for as still the in environment. that this is residual oil that s still on the top, and in the form of a sheen, still near surface of the water in the form of tar balls. also oil that has come ashore that might be in the sediment, that might be in the sand, that has yet to be unconferrevereunc. big question here is, what will this oil that is still in the environment do to the environment? that s one of the questions they cannot answer right now. but it is very encouraging to see that a quarter of this oil, of this massive oil spill, is apparently taking care of itself naturally, by natural means, by dissipating, and buy by evaporati evaporating, and 25% being collected either at the site or by skimmers. so we re going to get more explanation when we hear from thad allen and from the noaa. but this is the first step we have seen coming from the government to actually quantify how much oil is still in the environment, and we re still
i was standing earlier over by the streets, which are dry and it s actually warmer, it feels warmer where i m standing right now. this is central park a big grassy area. usually this is where you go to cool off. however earlier we had a big rainstorm come through and all the water came out and soaked into the ground and now it s all evaporati evaporating. that s what s going on all across the country. when you sweat, it didn t really keep you cool. it s that evaporation process. you have all this moisture so the water is just not evaporating off your skin, so you re sweating a lot. but across the whole country right now, or at least the southern half or east of the rockies, we have this tropical moisture that s moving in, and temperatures are really about five degrees in many spots warmer than average. it s the middle part of the summer, and it s typically the
