"Ha! You fool you said that methane clathrate was formed by bacteria."

No I didn't. Chlathrates are formed in sub-zero(Celsius) water in combination with an appropriate gas. Now the methane is most produced by bacteria.

" You quote a piece that says some of the methane was created from microbial sources."

Hugh, it was your source. And it clearly states it is more than 'some'.

" In fact it is common for it to form in high pressure gas lines when there is water moisture in the system."

Umm, so? It wasn't the methane in question.

" So you see you were also wrong that it does not form in permafrost."

Trying to confuse the issue.

Again.

The methane in question is not being formed deep in the ground. It is shallow enough that the melting permafrost releases it.

This wasn't even a good try. But is a perfect example of how wingnuts twist, distort, lie and do their best to obfuscate issues instead of discussing them rationally.
