Can we create an environmentally friendly chemical, that would reduce the evaporation over an area? The major side effect will be the loss of heat transfer from the tropical zones to the further north sections of the planet. So who wants to make an enironmentally friendly chemical we can pour over large sections of the ocean? It should be cheap, easy to produce, and dissipate naturally over a 72 hour period.

Was the coverage of oil over water so significant in the past 4 or 5 decades that evaporation was hindered to that degree? If so, that's pretty intense. Perhaps it is good that we've kinda fixed that. Now will have to learn how to deal with full-strength hurricanes. For the future, I don't think we can depend on positive side-affects such as this by coating the gulf of mexico in oil just to protect coastal cities. This theory I had not heard.
