A week or three ago I had seen a documentary about some marine biologists who were sampling life from very deep ocean floor. The vertical cameras that guide the critter sampling basket/grabber thing were getting the lenses covered with gases coming from the ocean floor. It was methane, escaping at a great rate, from extremely deep cold waters. I posted this to Ludwig that night as evidence (to my amateur eyes) we may be past the critical methane melt tipping point.

Anyway, if Deja vu is feeling like you been there before Deja fear is thinking you have come to this scar conclusion before. if (big if) there is any climate conspiracy at government levels, it is to hide how screwed we are.

The deep ocean floor is one of the least explored areas on the earth. Did it ever occur to you that this might have been going on for a long time, and the only reason that anyone observed it was because they finally got cameras down that deep?? Outgassing from the ocean deep ocean floor is a naturally occurring event and is not evidence of global warming.
