Can we petition Congress to ban earthquakes? The release of all this methane gas contributes to global warming and climate change, and I really think our elected officials should do something to stop these devastating earthquakes.

I agree. A select committee should be set up to study what we can do to prevent earth farts.

Everyone knows... better to let it out and bare the shame, than hold it in and bear the pain.
Just assume an excuse me on Mother Nature's part.

Why worry about earthquakes?
I watched “Blazing Saddles” and saw the potential devastation wrought by bipodal legumes...

I really think our elected officials should do something to stop these devastating earthquakes. Absolutely! Any government that can end evolution with laws like the Endangered Species Act -- which stops "survival of the fittest" in its tracks -- should easily be able to stop earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and other natural disasters.
To: AtlasStalled
And thus we now have the answer to the age old question: “Which came first, the methane or the quake?” ;-)

You don’t remember all the cowboys sitting around the campfire farting for about 5 minutes after a dinner of beans??? One of Alex Karas’ classic scenes on the Big Screen.
To: Stormdog
I was in Yokohama when an earthquake struck and I released a large amount of methane as the building shook, so there is something to this thread.

Ah, if you talk to the tinfoil-hat people, they'll tell you all about how Evil Darth Cheney wields the HAARP array to do just that...

Vaguely. The movie came out about 39 years ago. I saw it then, once or twice in-between, the last being five to ten years ago. I don’t remember all the scenes.
The racial stuff they got away with was amazing. LOL

BTW: Fart humor has always been lost on me. It doesn’t tickle my funny bone in the slightest.
