Nie tylko ropa wydobywa się w Zat. Meksykańskiej. Także wiele trujących substancji w tym metan. Spowoduje ogromne szkody w środowisku....
Will the methane kill marine life in the Gulf? Cause global warming? Bring on tidal waves and firestorms?
The oil emanating from the seafloor contains about 40 percent methane, compared with about 5 percent found in typical oil deposits, said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer who is studying the impact of methane from the spill.
This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history.
A U.S. scientist says that methane levels in the Gulf are "astonishingly high", that 1 million times the normal level of methane gas has been found in some regions near the oil spill, high enough to create "dead zones" devoid of life. Methane depletes oxygen, and the scientist noted:
At some locations, we saw depletions of up to 30 percent of oxygen based on its natural concentration in the waters.
