...I'd say the jury's out.  It appears possible that that warm temperatures and, perhaps, a biological community better equipped to deal with an influx of petroleum may lessen the potential impact of Deepwater Horizon.   However, there's also the possibility that dispersants like Corexit 9500 have simply turned a toxic threat into an invisible toxic threat.

We'll see.
