This has me worried a bit if it is true. I have worked in the oil fields and it makes cents to me with all the sink holes we have along the coast. I just pray he is wrong.

what-us-scientists-are-forbidden-to.html


I have a friend that I met Saturday at my high school reunion that is working in the gulf for the US Parks and Wildlife. He told me that he don't feel very safe with all the oil and methane gas that is in the water. They are picking up tons of animals that the well has killed. The governement has told them that the gas is dissipating in the water, but from what he see's he don't believe them.

"More methane in the spill could mean a faster pressurization of the strata under the sea bed and a faster buildup of both methane hydrate on the bottom and free methane at the surface. Either one or both could be catastrophic. The methane hydrate has a chance, if disturbed enough, of bubbling out of the hydrate and causing a tsunami and free methane on the surface in a high enough concentration to be explosive." [Hoagland quote]

Richard C Hoagland, offered a very stark review of the current situation in the Gulf stemming from BP’s Deepwater Horizon incident. I am not publishing his views for the sake of being alarming. It appears to be strong information that people, particularly those in the affected areas, should pay attention to, and have the right to read for themselves.

Richard is warning of a gas explosion that may occur in weeks or months resulting in a massive tsunami, which he says would travel at 400-600 MPH toward the most vulnerable coastline in America. This he says, would sink all vessels for miles and drive the oil, toxic dispersants and gases inland within minutes.

Hoagland said, “Think Mount St. Helens — underwater. Depth recorders have detected a gas bubble growing under the ocean floor, around the well head. If this potential bubble does not get controlled ASAP before it explodes, impending disaster could be awaiting millions of residents in the gulf states.” [Hoagland quote]

Here is more about it to.

Now wait a minute.....I thought the majority of you here thinks thtas the earth can take care of ANY amt of pollution put into it WITHOUT any side effects whatso ever.

So NOW you're backing away from your stance and bellieve this now?


If you stay true to your belliefs this oil spill will take care of itself.


besides on any given day there are TONS/GALLONS of oil, methane etc that nautrally seep into the ocean anyway.

I read that site.....just sounds like some preacher that says he'll pray away the spilll.....just send your money to him.

I'm safe at over 200' above sea level, this can really bring up the price of beef. Maybe I need to create some more pasture and move some cattle from the SE to graze up here.

I spent some time reading old posts inthe archives and see where many if not most of you think that global change is lie and that the earth can take care of itself.



If that be the thought of the majroty here.....why get worried now?

global warming hasn't happened, and is based on bad science..

if it is true, global waming may have side effects.. no one really knows as the theory is full of holes and the models often left out data to get a result that supported the agenda.

as for the gulf oil spill, the earth will heal itself over time.. but there will be side effects that we will see and deal with...

Yes maybe in small amounts, but this is thousands of Gallons with other type of chemicals in it to.

The guy dose sound like some preacher, but from my experience it's about right what he says.

I have a beach house I will sell you if you feel safe. :wink:

I, like the people doing animal rescue in the Gulf, AND THIS ADMINISTRATION, are more worried about who's going to pay for the "Counseling" of those doing animal rescue.

It must be a very traumatic and mind altering job......................... :roll:

but a new analysis warns that a giant, 1,000-year-old methane bubble could soon explode, taking out miles and miles of the ocean floor and causing a violent oil spill tsunami that would threaten the entire gulf coastline.

The Worst-Case Scenario

The frightening "low-probability" scenario described today by entrepreneur and philanthropist DK Matai at The Huffington Post includes the possibility of a "massive bubble trapped for thousands of years under the Gulf of Mexico sea floor" exploding and setting off a "tsunami [traveling] at a high speed of hundreds of miles per hour."


science writers have noted that methane does eventually dissolve uniformly in seawater and is consumed by microbes.

the well itself does not increase the likelihood of the formation blowing its top and creating a sunami. More likely it decreases that hazard by relieving the formation pressure. When very large fields are produced fast, some subsidence is likely, so there is a risk, after maybe most of a billion barrels have escaped, that the formation could subside substantially. The Pelly Field in Baytown sank about 30 feet (after 25 years of production) causing serious foundation, structural, and pipeline damage for 10 miles out from the field in several directions.

Should this subsidence occur over a large area of the Gulf floor, a sunami of some magnitude would be created. However, such sudden subsidence events have been relatively rare, as the support zone spreads at the angle of repose of the mile or two of strata above the formation, thus gradual subsidence over a larger area is the normal response to removing the oil/gas and its formation pressure.

I already have one beach house...

as for the oil spill it is a disaster... and one made worse by the inept leadership. but I do not think we should evacuate the coast.. based on one mans biblical warnings.

funny how Huffinton post now finds truth in Religion...

I have sent this to factcheck to find if and what maybe true. I don't know anything about factcheck, but the little women say they check things out all the time.
