As an aside, the host on this show has the third easiest job in the world next to Lil John and Vanna White. All he does is make some affirmative grunts while his crackpot guest rambles on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_C._Hoagland


Richard Charles Hoagland,[1] most commonly known as Richard C. Hoagland, (born April 25, 1945) is an American author and a proponent of various conspiracy theories about NASA, lost alien civilizations on the Moon and on Mars and other related topics. Claims from his personal biography[2] and publication[3] include having been curator for a science museum in Springfield Massachusetts at age 19 in the mid-60s.[4] Hoagland does not have any scientific training.

His writings claim that advanced civilizations exist or once existed on the moon, Mars and on some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and that NASA and the United States government have conspired to keep these facts secret. He has advocated his ideas in two published books, several videotapes,[5][6][7] lectures,[8] interviews,[9][10] and press conferences.[11] His views have never been published in peer-reviewed journals[12]. Hoagland has been labeled by James Oberg of The Space Review and Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy as a conspiracy theorist and fringe thinker.[13][14]

Many scientists have responded to Hoagland's claims and assertions. Professional astronomer Phil Plait described Hoagland as a "pseudoscientist" and his claims as "ridiculous."[84] In 2002, Ralph Greenberg, Professor of Mathematics at University of Washington, Seattle, wrote a paper asserting that the logic of Hoagland's deductions from the geometry of Cydonia Mensae is flawed.[85] The claim that the crashing of the Galileo Probe into Jupiter caused a "mysterious black spot" on the planet has since been disputed by both NASA and Dr. Plait. There is photographic evidence that a similar "black spot" was present in imagery of Jupiter taken in 1998. A second image referenced by Dr. Plait shows a dark ring which looks similar to the spot Hoagland cited.[86] In 1995 Malin Space Science Systems, NASA prime contractor for planetary imaging, published a paper critiquing claims that the 'city' at Cydonia is artificial, the claimed mathematical relationships, and — very specifically — denying any claims about concealing questionable data from the public.[87]

ive seen this on Mega Disasters. Basically the entire planet erupts into a fireball and all life is either scorched alive or dies of asphyxiation.

Chalk another one up for 2012 :lol

Even if methane was responsible for mass extinction, this guy is taking one thing and applying it to an ENTIRELY different scenario. Its bunk pure and simple. But watch conspiracy theorist websites run with it. Shoot, even Alex Jones has started to do so. There are even people who have taken this BS and have combined it with the idea that the U.S. government caused the gulf problem, is using weather control technology to bring a hurricane onto the area in order to create the opportunity for a total dictatorship.

Even though the source is a nutbag, thoughts of a bunch of methane covering the world scares me. I might look into getting a gas mask in the future, just in case ;0.

Even if the tsunami wave destroyed only Americas and coastal Europe/Africa I guess it would raise the temperature enough to thaw the permafrost, release methane stored there and fuck up the rest of the world, right?

So, ugh, BP might actually cause a premature extinction event? Mind=blown.

Well all it would take is a spark or static electricity to ignite the methane that would blanket the entire globe.

Well that's dumb. How would asphyxiation wipe out anaerobic life? Unless their view of "all life" is deers n stuff. History Channel, I swear.

How would the sea bed collapsing cause a tsunami. Would'nt the sea level drop as the water falls into the area where it has collapsed?

I thought tsunami's are caused when an earthquake pushes up the seabed which then forces the water up? :/

I am not at all saying I believe in this whole idea, but... pretending for a moment that it could be real, I'm not exactly sure a rebuttal from the company posed to be the cause of the extinction of all mankind is really something I'd feel like I could trust.

BP and the US government has been so truthful, open, and forthcoming so far with this disaster i could see them releasing news that global extinction is headed our way.

What a terrifying little troll of a thread. Despite the "phewf" moment, I'm still expecting whatever witless words I'm posting on GAF to be unexpectedly punctuated by merciless, relentless annihilation.

Terrence Aym also wrote an article titled "TIME TO CONSIDER SECESSION?" back in June.

Terrence Aym said:
This year American citizens will celebrate the 234th birthday of the Founding. Unfortunately, too many Americans alive today have forgotten the knowledge our founders acquired through their sweat, blood and sacrifices. Yet that knowledge still exists for all to see. It is embedded within the principles upon which our nation was built—principles we as a people forget or ignore only at our own great peril.

Over the years numerous pundits have defined America as many things, yet at its root America is an idea and the embodiment of a philosophy. And yes, it is a dream. It's a dream that all in their personal way strive to attain. The seed of this dream is nourished by individual liberty. This dream embraces a dynamic vision that ever expands, ever grows, ever evolves as we too must evolve or surely perish from the face of this Earth.

The patriots of the TEA Parties today seek to reclaim that dream, embrace it, nurture it and set it before ourselves again.

We the people consent to be governed only by a government that stays its heavy hand and limits itself to that authority which has already been explicitly defined. All other powers are reserved to the people and the sovereign states. Until that can once again be implemented and enforced, I invite all free people of like minds to consider initiating grass roots political movements in the several states towards the goal of secession.

Let this idea sweep across our land like a prairie fire.

There's been 5 mass extinctions in Earth's history and life is as complex as it's ever been.

Methane is an asshole.

Methane deposits from the seefloor or under the permafrost getting into the atmosphere as gas is something I don´t want to happen at all. Scary, scary. Please everybody, recycle, use less energy, produce less waste, walk/cycle more and keep that asshole in his cave :/

Just in case.

Well then, nothing to worry about. We survived the last one 65 million years ago, we can do it again! Oh wait..

I don't see what humans have to do with any of the points I've made or the continuation of life on Earth. Except that they're the main cause of extinctions today.

Oh come on. You know when i summarized the Mega Disasters show you know what i meant about all life.

"But anaerobic life would still exist!" When talking about things that can kill humanity and alter life on the planet as we know it you know we are not going to be concerned that some microbial life is going survive.

"But there were five extinction events before in earths history!" All of which were millions of years before humanity even stepped on the scene.
