"This methane is escaping into the atmosphere at a rate that would be dangerous if it continued for a million years or so. So obviously it isn't millions of years old. We'd all be dead."
But , somehow, we still survive, considering ALL the methane that is produced by man and animals.
Were does the methane go when it is released into the earths atmosphere ? does it go out into space ? or does it just sit there forever in the upper atmosphere ?

That's what I was wondering. "scientists" certainly don't know either. Maybe we should ask Al Gore, He seems to know everything.
You'd think if it just sat there, we'd smell it by now. Pity the first person who gets a wiff of a millions of years old dinosaur fart. "Hog barn days" won't be very pleasant either.
The weather man will have more to do than just guessing at the weather in the future, he'll be guessing at methane gas cloud movements and telling us what the day will smell like.
