Lots of hydrocarbons on the surface of Titan, one of Saturn’ moons. I don’t think there was plant life on that moon to make all of the hydrocarbons found there.

Maybe the volcanic activity has a tiny bit to do with it

And tectonic plate movement

So why are we not tapping this with a straw or two and pumping it back to burn to power our cities and towns?

Could a volcano be forming? Is that what you’re saying? Because these things are found near volcanoes....

Then again it could be caused by an impending earthquake along the Cascadia subsection zone.

Thanks for the ping Ernest. IMHO, it is simply a fact found that indicates things that or normal within the oceans and lands that indicate how things operate withing the earth’s
system.I have a lovely next week 99 year old dear mom who has been in some now 7 visits to ER visits to local hospitals then ICU then sent back to nursing care facilities within three months. I’m burnt out in the total.
It has taken an huge toll on me. So I try to log in at times and respond to you good people, but have become very limited within my scope.
You take care friend. God’s best upon you and yours.

Strange that no temperature figures are given, nor what any baselines for either temperatures nor the outflows happens to be. There data only goes back as far as ‘fish finding sonar’; that’s not a very long baseline.

>>Warming ocean temperatures a third of a mile below the surface...

>>research >>suggests<< that subsurface warming >>could<< (weasel word) be causing more methane gas to bubble up

>>at the depth where methane hydrate would decompose >>if<< (Weasel word) seawater has warmed

>>the ocean in the region is warming ... by water that formed decades ago in a global warming hotspot off Siberia and then traveled with ocean currents east across the Pacific Ocean.

Okay; so why, over a period of decades, while traveling from Siberia, has this “warm” water not succumbed to the laws of thermodynamics, and cooled off? How hot was it, and how hot is it on arrival? Was it really a “global warming” hot spot; or jut a warm spot on the globe, i.e. area of undersea vulcanism?

Stick a Pipe in the hole and transport the Methane to a Power Plant on Shore that runs on Methane. Problem solved.
