When you predict that the end of the world (as we know it) is coming
then you are labelled as a crackpot (or a Chicken Little)-!

Which is fine until the sky falls !

I first heard about methane clathrates was about five years ago, and
within that period it has been suggested that they were the cause of
both the Paleo-Eocene Thermal Maximum, and the Permian Triassic
mass extinction.

But I don't think the sky is falling. It is more like great balls of fire!

Cheers, Alastair.
