[quote:Anonymous Coward 1501341:MV8xNzI3OTc0XzI4NjExMTEyXzdBQ0QzMTAy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1062912:MV8xNzI3OTc0XzI4NjA4MTcyXzZDRkZGMEJF] [quote:zepa:MV8xNzI3OTc0XzI4NjA0ODE3X0ZDODI3ODA=] only way to avoid it is to either cool the sea or remove from seabed n burn/eject into space [/quote] other possibilities: - create another organism (perhaps a genetically engineered bacteria) that feeds on the troublesome bacteria without producing its own catastrophic waste products - create an organism that feeds prodigiously on H2S without producing its own catastrophic waste products [/quote] So respond to this occuring in the Arctic, but not the GoM. The BEZERK thread was on to this, and the issue in the Arctic about November last year. Pity so many thought it was bogus. [/quote]
Original Message
"The scale and volume of the methane release has astonished the head of the Russian research team who has been surveying the seabed of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf off northern Russia for nearly 20 years."
"This is the first time that we've found continuous, powerful and impressive seeping structures, more than 1,000 metres in diameter. It's amazing," Dr Semiletov said.
"Some plumes were a kilometre or more wide and the emissions went directly into the atmosphere – the concentration was a hundred times higher than normal."
