Methane and hissing. Nature seems to have a sense of humor chemically inextricably connecting methane and hissing, guttural sounds whimsically cosmic by design. It would not surprise me to would find similar terrestrial phenomena across the most far away parts of the universe due to the oneness of chemicals, elements in universal abundance juxtaposed in a way to make the chemical connection between gas and sound.

Oh the horror. And, I thought trees were our friends.
Now, I guess, they’re on the EPA’s Death List.

Hmm, envision hundreds no thousands of hoses connected to the trees similar to tapping Maple trees for syrup and all those hoses connected to a burner for a boiler and the steam used to make electricity.
Tree far#$ for energy! Nature’s, natural gas.
Watch out if you hug a tree, it might break wind in your general direction.

Ronald Reagan was right. Between CO2, CH4 and oxides of nitrogen, the damn trees are soon going to have the temperature on earth roughly equal to that of a pizza oven. We need to cut every single on of them down immediately.

Kristofer Covey, a doctoral candidate at Yale and the lead author on the paper, emphasized that the research does not suggest in any way that such forests are an environmental negative.
And once again the headline does not match the article

Does anyone remember when Ronaldus Magnus made the statement that some trees are themselves polluters, and the catcalls and razzberries he received from the geen nut nature worshippers and the dim bulbs in the media? And now comes this report. Whattayaknow?!

Three years ago, a researcher collecting tree core samples in Connecticut was startled to see one of the trees begin to hiss and spit. Even more surprising, he found that the leaking gas could be set on fire.

A flame fueled by methane shoots out of an oak tree being cored in Yale Myers Forest in Connecticut....researchers found average concentrations of 15,000 parts per million inside trees
The Lower Flammability Limit of methane is 4.5 to 5.0 percent by volume in air. That's 45,000 to 50,000 ppmv. I guess if 15,000 ppm was average, they could have found higher concentrations. OK, passes the smell test.
