    It aint half hot yet!

    I recall reading an article that used huge methane bubbles as an explanation for the sinking of some sailing ships in the old days. If that explanation is correct methane escaping into the atmosphere in sizable quantities has been with us for a long time.

    Those who are worried about being cooked better get ready. Scrambling for gravy and sauce at the last minute is a bad habit.
