The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event, the largest extinction in history, could have been caused by huge, worldwide methane explosions...Otherwise known as "Taco Tuesdays"

So the dinosaurs became extinct because they lit their farts? Who knew.

CO2 is twice as heavy as air But methane is not. It is lighter than air and an accumulation of it in a cloud would be far above the surface.

Interesting to consider. Seems like lightening would occur somewhere before there was enough built up to cause the kind of event described.
I don’t know if Methane cause the Carolina Bays, but I have seen a causal relationship between methane and skid marks.

(You can make methane from CO2.) It is however much easier to make CO2 from methane (CH4)
An exothermic reaction which cooks a great deal of food in this country every day.
CH4 + 2(O2) = CO2 + 2(H2O)
Making Methane from CO2 would be an endothermic reaction and therefore unlikely in nature.

Besides, methane explosions wouldn't explain why all of the bays are elliptical. Couldn't possibly have been caused by huge rocks hitting the surface from an angled flight path???

What probably gave him the idea is that there are enormous methane ice fields under some of the northern latitude sea beds, that are believed to erupt under some circumstances, blowing vast amounts of methane into the atmosphere.
However, as enormous as these can be, they don’t seem to have the same character as the Carolina bays.

Do people get paid to be so dumb?
Those formations are the result of prevailing winds and freeze thaw cycles in permafrost lowlands.
Just check out the northern coast of Alaska.

I won’t pick it apart.
I’ll just say that many things in the article just make no sense.

Most likely a part of the great flood scenario, the judgment and destruction of the world at the time of Noah. They always like to add on millions of years ago to blur the facts, this time it was just 12 thou ago. Amazing!

NEBRASKA BAYS, et al. Someone is doing some serious research on "bay" formations. I haven't even BEGUN to read it all...
