If there is a way to capture this methene gas for energy use, how great would that be!
Somehow, I believe we need to continue making plans to cut all gas-consumming cars,trucks and other vehicles-boats as soon as possible. Using energy efficient lights bulbs have made a great dent in the reduction in the electrical energy we use. The LED bulbs are very popular for all kinds of lighting-Christmas trees, home and work. We are truely in a battle to save the earth and all of its resources. It is up to all of us to educate others and do something for the change. If we can recycle water, eat one less cooked meal, cut down on meats, walk more or take public transportation, we would reduce global warming, and promote better health.
Somehow, I believe that the public is becoming more educated from reading articles such as the one written on this subject. I repect the idea that somebody is studying the effects of the methane gas under the sea because,
it can impact earth in. There seem to be an order of underworld life that
we might not know everything about.
Focusing on the problem now will surely improve living on earth, tomorrow.

According to David Archer’s The Long Thaw, not much methane was released from clathrates following the end of prior ice ages. He points out though that this time might be different, because the ice-age release areas only built up methane during tens of thousands of years between interglacials. By contrast, sometime this century we will take temperatures to levels not seen for hundreds of thousand of years, if not a few million years. That could break down clathrates in ocean floor areas that have had clathrate buildup for far longer than what we experienced during interglacial warming periods.

The discovery outlined in this post could help understand clathrate buildup as well as dissolution, so it could help us understand if we’re entering extremely dangerous territory.

As for your second point, my first post was focused on the substance of the article. You were the first person to start attacking individuals “Do you even read the things you write?”. I merely offered my defense to your unsolicited ad hominem attacks. I was called “wantonly ignorant” for having a differing opinion, so I explained that I came to rationally.

Once again, a failure to read their own words. Arbiter is trying to spread fear towards any action to combat greenhouse gas emissions.

Other than that, we’re given a simple statement of his beliefs, which in my opinion is not very responsive to the scientific content of this post.
