[quote:Anonymous Coward 1003588:MV8xNzI3OTc0XzI4NjY3NDI4XzIwQjVDQUY4] There was a thread a while ago, maybe a couple of months, about worms surfacing all over in California and the Pacific Northwest. I'm too lazy to search for it. I think that could be related too: H2S seeping into the ground, the worms reacting and trying to flee by getting out of the ground. H2S is somewhat water-soluble, by the way. In that form it is called hydrosulfuric acid, ph of 6.9 (a very weak acid), and chemically it's H2S (aq), the (aq) meaning 'aqueous'. So all these people being found dead in tubs, showers, pools, hot tubs, in lakes and streams and rivers, etc - I really have to wonder about that. One of the two friends that dropped dead on me was found dead in the shower too. Could be it's getting into the water. Not everywhere, but here and there, maybe dependent on whether you get your water from wells or open-air reservoirs or what. I'm not sure though. Just watching the data, trying to figure it out.

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."
