Methane has no human effects in the presence of Oxygen. You must have an oxygen-depleted atmosphere for it to even being to be a remote concern. Methane is also fully dissolved in water, further reducing any threat.

Long-term, it isn’t all that great and the climate implications are disastrous, but this isn’t something to panic over because of perceived health effects. Go look it up.

Does Simmons have proof to back up his claim that the gulf floor is covered 400 feet deep with oil?

On this site : wavcis(dot)csi(dot)lsu(dot)edu(slash)forecasts(slash)forecasts(dot)asp(?)modelspec=currents

Search “Water level”…and tell me this is “normal” that you have such a mountain of water located JUST HERE. Play the forecast animation : it’s a permanent fact.

I THINK, MAYBE, (but I know such little about this Gulf) this image COULD BE the METHANE location.

Or it’s perfectly usual, and I’m wrong.

I was thinking about Methane gases coming up the east coast in a hurricane and the possibility that it would ignite through lightning. This situation affects this whole country.
