#3 When we're still here in 5 years, revoke all these ninnies' academic credentials and turn them out of their jobs. When we're still here in 10 years, banish them to their beloved shrinking (NOT) icecaps...

#5 Methane has been bubbling up from the seafloor for years. In fact, that is one of the possible explanations for ships disappearing in the Bermuda Triangle. A large methane release will cause the buoyancy of the ship to plunge as the displacement effect collapses and it is like trying to sail a ship on air. Instant sinkage.

Have you been speaking to Hank Paulson again?

#7 Besoeker,
Darth's right. Popping shallow gas pockets and reducing the water density is a major risk we have to account for when drilling offshore.

#8 Glen: Agree regarding offshore rigs, but not airplanes and ships at sea.

#10 Ok Spike, if you say so. As long as you are not writing from Wash D.C. Can't believe a thing coming out of D.C.

#11 "Isn't methane fuel?..."

This means we have a right, nay a moral responsibility, to capture this nasty methane and burn it into CO2 which will make it only 1/20th as deadly for globular warmening.

Brilliant plan if I do say so myself!
