If there had been that much methane in the atmosphere, I would think that the first lightning strike would solve the problem. Of course, there would be other problems.

As a land geophysicist, I sometimes consult for a local marine geophysical firm. They're working on ways to locate the methane hydrates. Perhaps they'd have a better market trying to sell it as a way TO STOP THE NEXT EXTINCTION OF EVERYTHING rather than an alternate power source.

When I grow up I want to be a geologist or paleontologist. Then I can say whatever I want and no one can disprove it.

Retallack bases his theory in part on the fact that of the few land animals that survived, one of the most abundant was a reptile called Lystrosaurus. A burrowing creature, Lystrosaurus had a barrel chest, short, squat legs and a flat face. These characteristics helped it live underground, but Retallack says that they would also aid survival in a world of reduced oxygen. The animals' barrel chests allowed strong chest muscles for powerful breathing. Short limbs reduced the workload on the heart as it pumped oxygenated blood to the muscles. A flat face facilitated rapid, unobstructed breathing. In addition, Lystrosaurus' nasal passages were designed like those of humans, allowing the animals to breathe and chew at the same time.

"We'd better not do "X", because 'The possibility for environmental catastrophe is a bit of a worry.'"
Wow! Who'd'a thunk it? A possible environmental catastrophe! Stop all attempts to develop new energy sources immediately! Immediately, do you hear?! After all, we've never, ever heard anything like this before, on anything else.
(Okay, so sarcasm is impolite. And I know my argument is not really with you. But I do get a bit tired of ecofreaks crying wolf, though I appreciate that you posted it.)

We will have to ban chili, beer, and cole slaw! Matches will also be forbidden lest someone get the urge for a "blue flame special"!

METHANE EXTINCTION SCARE: "COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN?"According to my wife, after I've walked out of the bathroom, the answer is a resounding "yes".

On land, surviving plants tended to be those that grew in dry, well-aerated soils, where oxygen could easily get to their roots. Huh?
