Humble Oil-Qaeda

I.

In recent posts I have been looking both under the sea and on top of the sea.

I found that waters off the East Coast are cooling at various depths, and I also found the reason (Fig. 1).

The humble Oil-Qaeda (Oil-Qaeda: The Indictment, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) is responsible for these cooling trends in some of the deeps (Will This Float Your Boat - 12).

"The Humble" melted away, to become the not-so-humble Exxon, about four and a half decades ago (Humble Oil Morph).

II.

They now supply cool water all the way down to the Bermuda Triangle because the icebergs they used to send down turned out to be a Titanic Mistake (The Titanic Iceberg, Titanic Mistakes Using The W Compass - 2);

The Coast Guard evidently informed them that sending icebergs all the way down to that part of "their bathtub" was not welcomed.

Notice the two cyan colored squares where the Coast Guard has in the past sighted icebergs  (Fig. 2).

Yes, Humble Oil-Qaeda is so humble that  way back in once-upon-a-time-ville they clearly realized that they would be cooking up an "advanced" planetary scene.

Known for being warming folks, they were gifted with an idea furnished to them by Dr. Salacious "Sammy" Spin (The Authoritarianism of Climate Change).

He suggested that they chill the warming waters all the way from the big apple (Hard Times2 In New York Town) down to the yellow submarine (Zone In On Sea Level Change - 3).

So, taking Dr. Spin's advice, they did what they do best, and warmed the planet some more.

The idea was to melt those pesky icebergs while they were still way up north, so that only the iceberg residue (cooler water) could make it down to the sunshine state (Fig. 3).

"We will be heroes" they sang and shouted.

Some of them even bought their 5th estate on the shores of Miami Beach.

Then the cool water, which they were so proud of, began to lap at their doorsteps there (Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6).

They were then told that their melting of the ice sheets was also a no-no (Why The Military Can't Defend Against The Invasion).

Some of them hit the trail called Highway 61, hoping that it would cause a distraction.

Even more of them went back to Dr. Spin for another dose of hopium, and he "gave them the business" (The Deceit Business).

They began to pay the warming commentariat to spin humble oil yarns, to pay the warming trumpeters to rise up above science and fib about the warming Sun being the source of the "rising seas that were getting fat from eating too much sunshine" (The Warming Science Commentariat, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

They began to pay the magi to mass produce exquisite smoke, mirrors, and tom foolery because the hoi polloi did not appreciate their cool water (Smoke & Fumes).

The rest of the story is an unfolding mystery (Why?, Attorneys General).
