Something, iirc, about natural bacterium which actually consumed the oil...

Researchers from the University of Rochester and Texas A&M University
have found that, over a period of five months following the disastrous
2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill, naturally-occurring
bacteria that exist in the Gulf of Mexico consumed and removed at least
200,000 tons of oil and natural gas that spewed into the deep Gulf from
the ruptured well head.

Almost makes the GAIA hypothesis plausible, no?
