Could B.P. disaster end life as we know it? MAD MAEX theory signals Methane Accumulated Disaster and Marine Accelerated Extinctions
The extent of the B.P. oil spill disaster may not be known for decades. In the event of planetary catastrophe the damage may never be known at all—there may be no life left to record the events. This could become the first, and last, known man-made triggered planetary disaster.
As a result of the broken well head and leaking methane gas in the B.P. Deepwater Horizon disaster, massive extinction history could explosively repeat itself. The Methane Accumulative Disaster and Marine Accelerated Extinctions, MAD MAEX, could end life on earth, or could signal a chance for humanity to learn from the harsh lessons of history. It happens when a massive methane bubble grows and bursts.
Professor Gregory Ryskin, a bio-chemist at Northwestern University, has worked many years on studies of previous accelerated extinctions. The Permian extinction, recorded as the most destructive on record, occurred 251 million years ago, and the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum, LPTM, occurred 55 million years ago. The more recent LPTM suppressed life for approximately 100,000 years.
Today in the gulf, massive build up of methane gas has been recorded. Within a five mile radius of the broken well head emissions of 60% oil and 40% methane gas has been documented. Oceanographer John Kessler reports these levels as “astonishingly high.”He has documented fluxes of marine methane in various oceans worldwide with geochemical analyses, discovering this is an anomaly of significant proportions.
An undersea bulge has been reported over several thousand square miles of the seabed. If such pressure were to build out of control disaster would be imminent. Methane bubble explosions followed by sea floor rupture, tsunami, poison atmosphere, and mass die of both marine and land based life would follow.
Relief workers in the area are issued state of the art gas masks and protective gear as needed. In the event of methane explosions of the magnitude in a worse case scenario, death would be instantaneous and widespread. Resulting toxic clouds would smother the entire gulf region which would be ground zero for any planetary scale catastrophe.
Today in the gulf reports on all fronts are dismal. Industries dependent upon marine life, fisheries,
