Here is where you are wrong again.In PWS, MOST of the oil sunk to the bottom. And the methane gas around to well head will naturally be much higher but will either flash off into the atmosphere or disperse.

As far as methane amounts in the Gulf due to Methane Hydrate, the amounts that are being time released into the water, fully dwarf the overall amounts that this well has released or ever will release.

Do some research into this yourself. As far as allowing the generations of ignorant fisherman who have an axe to grind over this, to make assessments into how long the damage will last, like the Exxon Valdez, these same fisherman were handsomely awarded and rewarded for their losses. But in reality, their fishing future was never better.

Mainly because the Oceans have a remarkable ability to adapt and recover. The bio-organisms that exist and thrive off of oil, will increase in proportion to the volume and the clean up will be rapid. Far more so than what the human race is capable of.

“As far as methane amounts in the Gulf due to Methane Hydrate, the amounts that are being time released into the water, fully dwarf the overall amounts that this well has released or ever will release.”

So this spill releases massive amounts of methane, and yet the overall amount of methane decreases?
