I thought it was a comet? How can methane explode without oxygen?
I think it's on Wikipedia, too.
No biggie. Now, about that compound interest...
Maybe if we all go out and buy gas guzzling suv’s and jack up our thermostats we can use up all this stuff before it destroys us.
Does that mean I can come out from under the sofa, now?
The Mayan 2012 thing looks more and more real every day. Even if they stop the oil, the danger is far from over. In the 1960`s, it was postulated that our galaxy had thousands if not million of highly advanced civilizations. That has been replaced by a newer and more realistic theory that says that it is virtually impossible for a civilization to survive scientific/bio/technological advances. That once a civilization reaches a certain plateu of technology, they will accidentally, if not on purpose, eradicate themselves. I think we`ve reached that level.
We survived the "Disco Inferno" so I think we can survive this.......
“Perhaps if humanity is very, very lucky, some may find a way to avoid the mass extinction that follows and carry on the human race.”
To repeat the mistakes of those before them.
Your video sounds more likely.

This has all been predicted. "BP" really stands for "Brutum Pollex", which is Latin for "Pull my finger"
No, I’m giving the article it’s due, pure Barbra Streisand, as el Rushbo would intone.
Then again, the old moon-bat may be the last of a (hopefully) dying breed of Algore butt-kissers who actually believe this crap.

Thanks, SunkenCiv. The lengths people will go to to find a world-ending catastrophe amaze me. It must be a neurosis brought on by the demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. The ultimate bogyman is gone and somewhere deep down in our psyches we miss that threat of total annihilation. lol
Gulf Oil Spill a "Dead Zone in the Making"?Infauna, or small organisms such as clams and tubeworms that live in ocean sediments, are vital food sources for shorebirds and other coastal animals.
After the 1979 Ixtoc oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the area's infauna were reduced by up to 90 percent, Tunnell said—a potential reason many bird species left the area in the wake of the nine-month-long spill.
However, there may be a bright side: Organisms at the bottom of the food chain reproduce more rapidly than bigger animals, Tunnell pointed out by email. After the Ixtoc spill, infauna returned to pre-spill levels within about a year.
Some Ixtoc 1 highlights...
I also heard a Texas Gulf Coast fisherman talk about it on the radio. He said that two years after Ixtoc the beaches were back to normal and they had the biggest shrimp catches in years.
What a way to go! ;-)
The planet could blow up at any moment.
Order the liver, tip the waitress, and drive sober.
