My wife is absolutely certain where the Methane Coud came from.

Refried beans.

“The report that revealed the methane hot spot over the Four Corners region — where Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona meet — was released last year.”

I remember that. I think the answer was determined back then, although I don’t remember exactly what it was.

Michael Moore, no doubt...

I read unmined coal deposits.

So will Algore and his ilk sue the earth?

[UCANSEE2]

So... why is FOXNEWS recycling a year old story ?

[jmacusa]

LOL!! Yeah, my wife could determine that too!

Wind must be blowing SW from its point of origin from the East

It’s from John McCain running his mouth.

If only there was some way to safely harvest this methane and to make productive use out of it. Oh well, this is sage grouse territory now, we’ll just have to let the birds figure out something to do with it.

Hillary had beans again.

You would think that modern technology could pinpoint which house it is coming from, and do something about it.

Methane being rather lighter that the major constituents of the atmosphere, diatomic oxygen and diatomic nitrogen, it would float much higher in the atmosphere and disperse rather quickly. Unless it were being replenished from a steady source, it is unlikely such a concentration would stay in only one location for more that the length of time for a gust of high-level wind to come along and disperse it.

Now a high-ozone concentration, which is a triatomic form of oxygen, is relatively dense, as gas goes, and the only way it could continue to remain in one place is if it were being continually generated in its location - UV rays acting on diatomic oxygen, converting O2 to O3. A gas as heavy as ozone would sink quickly in earth’s atmosphere, and remain in close proximity to the ground, until its extreme reactivity would change the free ozone back to free oxygen and an oxide of something else.

Same area as the worst of the dust bowl.
