Even MORE large scale methane release? That IS potentially terrible news... The very worst.

Just Google or search ATS for: The Great Dying

They are blaming the huge Indiana explosion on earth leaked methane. It looks like Methane is coming up all over.

Why blame it on the Chinese??? It is pure GREED by the frackers and nothing else. Like they give a hoot about the Chinese.....pfffft!


You read the post wrong I was blaming the Frackers and the individual powerful Aussies (politicians and business) who facilitate the poisoning of this nation by promise of reward.
The chinese are looking after themselves as does every nation...and they definetly don't give a rice cracker about Australia.

I checked out Google and could not find a reputable source for this being the cause of the Indiana explosion and was wondering if you had a source for this information? I am not saying that this could not happen . . . just wanting to check into it a little more.

Thanks

My most sincere apologies, I got the two terms muddled up. What I should have said is the Galactic Equator.

Will Earth pass through the galactic plane in 2012?

That article also explains where we are in relation to the Galactic plane.

Apologies once again. Duh!

Methane, an ACTIVE solar Maximum, the 6mag quakes just picked up in the last
month, crazy weather every where on the planet. strange booms heard all over the world.
melting ice caps, glaciers, and Greenland Ice sheet..in record amounts. Ect.ect.ect


Well now LDb you must be gettting your data somewhere different from me.

Methane, yup OK.
ACTIVE solar max - no not a bit of it - one of the weakest in many years (cycles).

Quakes always pick up in Autumn.

Booms is earthquakes, it is just the Mercans have been punching so many holes in the crust and letting the gas and oil out that the Earth is now hollow
. What you are hearing is echoes!


Ice caps are not melting. Antarctica has some of it's thickest ice. The Arctic always fluctuates. In the 1920s you could sail across it - and now it is thickening again. Glaciers are advancing and the Greenland ice sheet is still 2 miles thick as it ever was. These things come in cycles as does the Grand Minimum we are approaching. Forecasts of up to 4°C drop in global temperature - and for something to compare that to bear in mind that last 150 years has managed just +0.37°C because of global climate warming change disaster.

As you say however, nothing to see here. Move along please.

My theory, which really isn't a theory as much as a logical reason for this (and the general warming trends we've seen over the past 30-50 years), is the fact that we are long overdue for an ice age.

The planet is going through a natural cycle and this is the part where the earth opens up and spews greenhouse gases into the atmosphere to speed up the coming ice age. It has recently been proven that ice ages can come on very quickly. My advice: move to Ecuador.

Oh, puterman-- no need to feel 'Duh!' I am personally no stranger to brain farts, LoL.

Now you will kindly U2U me a quick explanation/definition of Galactic Equator. Honestly, I've heard the term but can't quite wrap my brain around it. I say U2U b/c I fear we are dangerously off topic...


Sorry OP. Thank you for your thread of very interesting (if troubling) info.

"vast amounts of methane gas... leaking undetected"...

...says the news article.

*facepalm*


My thoughts exactly!!


Methane is, of course, a serious danger - Pike River in NZ 2 years ago had high levels and nothing was done about them - result was an explosion that killed 29 men.

Methane in the open atmosphere? Not any great worry.

although TBH they could at least burn it to make some electricity or something!

Vast amounts of methane appear to be leaking undetected from Australia's biggest coal seam gas field, according to world-first research that undercuts claims by the gas industry.

The sentence above makes it hard for me to take this seriously.

You know what makes me not worry about this coal seam issues? Fukashima. So as troublesome as this gas leak is, It's about #14 on my concerns of the health & safety of our planet. Pretty sad.

just my theory.


just your theory? based on what exactly? what are your qualifications/background that give you such insight? let me guess, based on a few articles you read on ATS. thats some solid science right there...

you have it all back the front, we are still in a glacial period, we are moving out of the glacial into the interglacial period, all the gases geting spewed out of the earth help bring us out of the glacial, they create the greenhouse blanket that creates a heat trap that increases the temperature over time

From a Scripture point of view. We are looking at a pole shift at about 18 months after the start of the Great Tribulation. Before it starts, animals effected from a change of EMF effects kill people fly into buildings, try to destroy ships at sea and etc. It is noted Rev. 6:8. Such would cause all the earths volcanos to go off. The crust would rise or sink. With dust blows and high winds. That would include Yellowstone and La Palma. The dust would cause sky darkness and a drop in temp. With lightning and static electric charges in the air. A massive wall a water from La Palma would hit the U.S. east coast. Not just 100 feet but on top of aggravated seas. The interesting part of all this is the noted falling of a star called wormwood. As no death is noted on impact but by toxic water. That sounds like the swiss elps. **That it could also be the cause of a space body**. That the earth would release massive amount of gases that could be set to flame in some areas by lightning strikes. All this is years off not Dec. 21, 2012. years later like 8-9 years as a war must happen and the Jesus temple will be built. .


no one cars about your scripture rubbish, it has nothing to do with the climatic cycle.

I have a feeling they are also fracking in the Latrobe Valley, although there isn't supposed to be any. The recen spout of earthquakes throughout the region makes me very weary of what politicians like Ted Ballieu are saying that it isn't going on.

I have said it before and I'll say it again.. The eastern 3rd of the australian continent is in a current and active stage of mountain building. Fracking in such zones is asking for trouble. Most recent trmors in Latrobe have been at 0.0 depth. They started with the big one a few months ago at 10km depth and have been getting shallower ever since.

I am feeling uneasy about what might be going on under the eastern 3rd of our country, as specially in regions that are in fact in an active "mountain building phase", rising around 2cm per year.

Recent quakes in the Latrobe Valley, which started some months ago with a 5.4 at 10km depth have been getting shallower ever since. The last few "at around 2.4 on the scale", have been at 0.0 depth. There have been 100's of small aftershocks from the big one, but have been progressively shallower.

The faults in this area are stress-trust faults (as magma pushes upward in a location with more brittle formations that don't easily bend), it fractures and cracks spread out in all directions. To me, this indicates that as the magma pushing upward to form mountains in this region, the bedrock has started to fall away underneath (bit by bit as it is heated and pushed on), into the pocket (could be why the trmors while still small, are getting shallower).

For a very long period of Earth's history Man would not have been able to survive. Methane was free in the atmosphere.




The Earth's surface was originally molten, as it cooled the volcanoes belched out massive amounts of CARBON DIOXIDE, STEAM, AMMONIA and METHANE. There was NO OXYGEN. The STEAM condensed to form water which then produced shallow seas.
