There is evidence that the oceans stagnated at the end of the Permian period. And the chemical signature in fossils of the time hints there was a massive change in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide would have been produced as methane broke down or exploded in the atmosphere.

Oh, bullbiscuits. Everyone knows that all the Dimetrodons got big honkin' SUVs and that led to the increase in CO2 and eventually the Permian extinction.

Seriously, there has been concern for some time about the possibility of a sudden, rapid release of methane from hydrates. However, recall that in the Bible it rained for 40 days and 40 nights to trigger the flood, there is no mention of the largest cosmic flatulence of all time.

Maybe it was confused with a really wet cosmic fart.
