<p>"Shock?" (8000yr warming trend?)<br>
"Deadly?"  (Smiles as I take out my lighter.)</p>
<p>Seriously though... read an MSDS on methane sometime... it has no toxicological effect on anything but offending your nose...</p>

Methane, methane.  How can we rapidly reap the energy in those methane plumes, eh?  I know!  Fuel cells love methane!  We need fuel-cell-powered methane harvesters!  Field deployable, in big large nets ..<br>

OK. I made that up, but here's some real Boris quotes:<br>
<br>
"My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only<br>
opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters. "<br>
<br>
"I can't remember what my line on drugs is. What's my line on drugs?"<br>
<br>
"Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase<br>
your chances of owning a BMW M3."<br>
<br>
"Why are they called quad-bikes?"<br>
