    Well, if its not going to happen for "millions of years" as the article states, then what is there to talk about?

    I'll certainly be long long dead and won't give two monkeys
    "I’ve never believed in the all-conquering power of a single individual. History is often conveyed to us that way as the history of Kings or tyrants. But that has never seemed true to me. Power is always a collaborative, concentrated effort; no King ever ruled without the consent of his elite no matter how it is presented to us in history books. Roman Emperors no matter how powerful, could be seen off by their Praetorian Guard. Those Emperors who were known as ‘the good Emperors’ knew that very well and they heeded the lessons given from the fates of Caligula and Nero."

    No, it stated that it's the first mass extinction in millions of years, meaning that it has been millions of years since the last mass extinction.

    But, in all seriousness, I don't believe this is "for real". I mean, seriously.

    OK it BP does end the world, I want to play Shogun 2 first

    Hmm, these days online put a fancy tag on it with a few neat links and everyone believes it! (no offense to anyone that believes this article...)

    Actually I believe offense is deserved. It doesn't take much research to determine that helium.com is hardly a good source for accurate scientific information. Most of the information in the article is garbage. In fact, methane is only on of many possible explanations for the Permian-Triassic extinction, so don't start worrying about getting blown up in an explosion of poo gas just yet.

    Ok guys...one things for sure...speed that up exponentially, and we have the next Day After Tomorrow.
    One thing is for certain: the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.
    -Neil deGrasse Tyson

    Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

    It's speculation, nothing more. Ryskin's methane theory remains, shall we say, controversial.
