What if the Gulf's Oil caught on fire?

A spill from an oil tanker is a problem. A flaming spill from an oil tanker is catastrophic.

What would happen if the Gulf of Mexico's Oil caught on fire? Would it boil the gulf of mexico? Would it release enough CO2 to turn us into venus? Would it block out the sun and drive us into an iceage?

Or maybe it will redeem the sea life.

    It can't really burn land cause it is in water mostly and also that oil would be burned anyway if it were being used and not spilled it is not enough to send us into an iceage.

    Since I have no knowledge or research on your question, I can only answer from things I've heard from people I spoke to who were in Kuwait when oil was burning. They said oil prices would rise, more pollution would fill the air but it wouldn't be a castastrophe. What a sad and terrible thing that happened with this current oil spill and I sure hope its contained very very soon>
