BP Methane Bubble or WERE ALL GOING TO DIIIEE!!!

Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical proportions.

251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth. [1] Experts agree that what is known as the Permian extinction event was the greatest mass extinction event in the history of the world. [2]

55 million years later another methane bubble ruptured causing more mass extinctions during the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM).

The LPTM lasted 100,000 years. [3]

Those subterranean seas of methane virtually reshaped the planet when they explosively blew from deep beneath the waters of what is today called the Gulf of Mexico.

Now, worried scientists are increasingly concerned the same series of catastrophic events that led to worldwide death back then may be happening again-and no known technology can stop it.

The bottom line: BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological Apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years....

...The warning signs of an impending planetary catastrophe—of such great magnitude that the human mind has difficulty grasping it-would be the appearance of large fissures or rifts splitting open the ocean floor, a rise in the elevation of the seabed, and the massive venting of methane and other gases into the surrounding water.

Methane is now streaming through the porous, rocky seabed at an accelerated rate and gushing from the borehole of the first relief well. The EPA is on record that Rig #1 is releasing methane, benzene, hydrogen sulfide and other toxic gases. Workers there now wear advanced protection including state-of-the-art, military-issued gas masks.

Reports, filtering through from oceanologists and salvage workers in the region, state that the upper level strata of the ocean floor is succumbing to greater and greater pressure. That pressure is causing a huge expanse of the seabed-estimated by some as spreading over thousands of square miles surrounding the BP wellhead-to bulge. Some claim the seabed in the region has risen an astounding 30 feet.

The Earth's crust is not a balloon which may be popped by a simple oil well. Methane/magma/<fluid> explosions occur due to the gradual build up of pressure until the yield point of the surrounding rock is reached. As far as a world-ending gas pocket is concerned, this is probably more likely to cause a local outgasing or even slow the rate at which pressure accumulates by way of a leak.

Journalists who use word like "apocalypse" and "biblical proportions" are substantially less reliable than other journalists, which, taking account of most other journalists, is extremely unreliable.

The writer's only statement about the oil slick is that, as previously known, the spill has a relatively high methane level. But, by prefacing with chilling recounts of historical extinctions and beginning the most shocking bits "some [obviously unnamed] scientists say" the piece gives the impression that a giant bubble will soon rise from the waves, fly to the sky, and kill all life on earth.
