Imagine that.... hydrocarbons burning beneath the surface of the planet..... The planet is obviously destroying itself so we need to protect the planet from itself.....

I feel so bad for the poor polar bears...

[SuziQ]

Have they checked to see if the area sits over some previously undiscovered vent from magma chamber?

[clamper1797]

Now that’s global warming ...

[TexasCajun]

Kalifornia causing Global Warming!

[clamper1797]

natural hydrocarbons, such as oil or gas, are burning deep in the earth

Wouldn't that mean that we should remove these hydrocarbons from the ground before something bad happens

[MarineBrat]

How many movies and books and short stories have been written about volcanos coming up in Los Angeles?

[polymuser]

Can't imagine why...

[ushr435]

Yes, as Dr. Evil would say, it could be “liquid hot MAG-MA.”

[Wiseghy]

Underground fire is actually kind of a bad thing. This isn’t the last we’ve heard of this one. Enviros will undoubtably blame additional pumping or extraction techniques soon.

Amazing that there is so much energy down there that it just ignites on its own.

[A CA Guy]

Mother earth voting that we drill for more oil IMO.

[reagan_fanatic]

"Did you say .. magma?"

[Red Badger]

That's how this movie started...........

[Heatseeker]

Ya beat me!

I was about to ask the same. Learned one or two things from that movie "Volcano".... and History Channel. :)

[RckyRaCoCo]

Heat killed the Pope...according to The Weather Channel gal

[dragonblustar]

It's Helen's fault.

[savedbygrace]

Ah, they found the spot where Paris Hilton videotaped her McCain Rebuttal video.

(Well, she said she was hot.)
