"Idiot, you claimed that methane hydrate and methane clathrate are somehow different. " No I didn't. You either didn't understand what I posted or are trying to twist my post. Chlathrate is the more common term in the literature. It describes the structure more than the chemical composition and is more descriptive. As to the bacteria, well, technically any methane may do. But, quoting your link to the wikipedia There are two distinct types of oceanic deposit. The most common is dominated (> 99%) by methane contained in a structure I clathrate and generally found at depth in the sediment. Here, the methane is isotopically light (d13C < -60‰) which indicates that it is derived from the microbial reduction of CO2. The clathrates in these deep deposits are thought to have formed in-situ from the microbially-produced methane, as the d13C values of clathrate and surrounding dissolved methane are similar.[6] In a battle of wits, you are totally unarmed. Try to educate yourself before you try arguing an issue with someone who has greater knowledge. It won't stop you from looking like a fool, that, I am afraid is your lot in life, but you won't look so stone cold stupid.
