Methane Doomsday Theory Debunked

[Julianking93]

Most recent doomsday scare debunked by coastal scientists

For those of you here a few days ago, you will remember a thread discussing the possible doomsday theory of the methane bubble in the gulf due to an influx of methane (and other) gases and whether or not you should be shitting yourself right about now.

Fortunately for us, science has come along and put our worries to rest.

"I wouldn't believe that at all," Gregory Stone, director of the Louisiana State University Coastal Studies Institute, told us. "There are a lot of press out there in regards to this event that is just inaccurate. We have got some of the best scientists in the world here, and we are not concerned about that scenario at all."

So for now, we can all just relax. That is until another doomsday theory shows up round the corner.

[2012 Wont Happen]

I'm glad this was debunked fast.

I didn't want to have to change my name to "Methane Death Will Not Happen"

 

[Westaway]

Damn, where is that receipt?...God! What am I supposed to do with a bunker, 3 weeks of baked beans and 47 gas masks? (Costco only sells them in bulk)

 

[Meggiepants]

There was a methane doomsday scare?

Damn video games! Saving me from being scared over nothing!

But what will your name be after 2012? Told you so?

Calumon: We have to worry about Helium now. There's not enough of it! >.<

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Good, another conspiracy theory defused before it can get to the 2012-tarded level.

 

[Cabisco]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW... I missed another doomsday theory, I missed the whole 2012 fad too. I love watching people act like freaking morons for a while. Shame on those scientists for ruining my fun.

You should just shorten that to "Deathane."

 

[ultimateownage]

Wow, now I don't have to worry about an obviously retarded theory I was never worried about in the first place.

 

[Rooker]

That was quick. You mean the giant zit isn't gonna pop? Disappointing. I wanted to be able to get to the afterlife and tell everyone about the giant zit that blew up the world. Oh well.

Giant fart of doom? Awesome way to go.

 

[MultiColouredWonder]

So 2012 has been dismissed already?
My freinds will finally shut up about Mayans then.

It's better than you think... the gasses would be hovering over a GIANT OIL SLICK, and then lightning hits it...

We're talking about "the giant death fart that set Mexico and part of the ocean on FIRE, and poisoned the rest of the planet". Sci-fi couldn't do it any better.

 

[Mcupobob]

Thank god thats a load off my mind, considering I've never heard of it. Anyways good job. *gives a thumbs up*

Yo're the skeptical one, right?

 

[FolkLikePanda]

MEHTANE DEATH!!! I produce enough as it is! Anyway, never heard of the theory anyway.

I'm willing to bet that there's a sci-fi channel original movie that has that as it's plot point...

SNIP

Obviously this theory was a total load, not only has the methane theory not been proven, it's overshadowed by more popular theories of what caused that extinction event.

And even if that theory was true and that really is what happened millions of years ago, it doesn't matter, because we aren't dealing with a methane leak in the gulf anyway!

Pure and utter garbage.

 

[Aerodyamic]

Considering the amount of baked and refried beans eaten throughout the gulf-adjacent areas, I wouldn't have been worried about methane surfacing around the oil slick.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

shit I was never worried. hell i had never even heard of this crackpot shit until just now
