BP may have doomed us all... : Othor Games

251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth.

This is absolute crap. They have no way of knowing this happened that long ago, there'd be absolutely no proof at all to back this up. That whole article is nothing but sensationalist doomsday crap, the kind that I've seen a thousand times over the years with nothing ever coming of it.

So, we're all gonna die because of a giant fart?

Hmm... I'm thinking of a good title for a new Ayn Rand novel. Can you guess what it is?

Let's all calm down before we go into hysterics. Last time I checked the leading theory for the Permian mass extinction event was a flood basalt eruption from the Siberian Traps.

:ahhh: :ahhh:

Glad I live in the mountains in interior Alaska....just in case.

The whole world could become a run away balloon in space.

I think I remember this being a theory about what happened in the Bermuda triangle and maybe the disappearence of Atlantis (if there was ever an Atlantis)

But yeah, that article is vewy, vewy scawy.

But....

ARGH WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the aliens will come save us before we all die?

:intergalactic:

Then again, to think something so big is going to happen based on one article is unreasonable... Anywhere else that is reporting this?

:shrug: Still waiting for the world to end every year.

So.... about me coming to visit.....

According to the Wikipedia article, the increase in temperature would be roughly 6 degrees.

Yay, what an apocalypse... :mellow:

Six degrees Celsius at the equator, which means much higher temperatures in summer the further north or south you go. Bottom line, massive droughts at first and it's all downhill from there.

If that's true, location won't save you.

K. Everyone get into the massive ships and start sailing to Africa.

We don't have time to calm down man, we're all going to die! The wrath of the methane mega-bubble is inevitable.

This problem can only be solved by even more drilling, and I know the finest deep-core oil driller science-fiction has ever seen. Someone get Bruce Willis on the horn.

After reading up on the siberian trap theory, im still not worried. This will probably go into the history books with bird and swine flu and also the 2012 disaster as being the end of humanity.

If the bubble is real, then it can still be a threat.

Do not anger the bubble.. worship the bubble and bring it gifts :bowdown:

That's why you need to reserve your spot in one of our state of the art vaults from Vault-Tec!

I claim Vault 69.

Ok now we need 998 more woman and one man for that vault..... :rofl:

:whisper: Its probably all [censored]

It's just paranoid fear mongering.

So.... about me coming to visit.....

Better hurry up.

If that's true, location won't save you.

The article said 90%. I'm thinking living in Interior Alaska will leave me in that other 10%. I hope that Alaska, Siberia, Iceland and Greenland will be safe. Oh and Hawaii. :lol:

But really I would sure rather be here than living on the gulf right now regardless of if such thing happened or not. We can still find rocks coated with oil in Prince William Sound now long after the EXxon Valdez oil spill.

[censored] it. Come on then methane bubble of catastrophic proportions. Come and get us.

» Fri Mar 19, 2010 9:06 pm

I'll also be in vault 69, I don't mind being the male :hubbahubba:

Help yourself. As for me, well...

The important question is: 2012 or BP Oil Spill - which is more plausible?

I'm going with 2012, and I think it's total horse dung.

Oh god I wish I was getting paid for this. So called this theory popping up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC4jZKSU8G4

What makes you think that the bubble won't burst in 2012? Oh, I think that I've figured it out. Everybody run! :ahhh:

Only as long as it's one of the control Vaults.
