It is a dangerous area, so the people in the area should be at least informed about this danger, and advised to keep away. It is a great documentary. More should be done in the research of the earth though. It seams we know close to little about it.

That's a funny but profound statement Lusmaghkla. Thanks for bring that up. I was cringing at the huge amounts of the gasses going into the environment. You too? My idea of a possible solution is to Mine the Heck out of the lakes and take the CO2 and Monoxide compress it and make useful compounds from them. Like aviation fuel and many other products. Keep these gasses from getting into the air, and do stuff with them to 'Sequester' them and make them produce farmland. The Methane could be collected, refined and used to generate power, or turned into fertilisers. It could also be used to generate Hydrogen to run vehicles and generate power with Fuel Cells. The areas where the lakes are, have abundant SunShine and solar power could run much of the operation. The CO2 could be shipped North to fuel rapid growth in green houses on the Sahara, part of taking back the land from the sand. I'm coining this slogan....."Take Back The Land From The Sand!". It can and will be done, or we are toast. I wish someone would hire me to guide the project. I know it would work.

Looks like an opportunity to make cheap energy. You lay a pipe from the surface to the bottom of the lake. The gas-saturated water will erupt in small scale through the pipe because the water above is no longer containing it. You feed the resulting jet of water through a turbine to generate electricity. The more energy you want to generate, the faster you degas the lake. Thereby diminishing the threat of a lake overturn.

It's not coming from streams, it comes up from the earth into the deepest parts of the lake. It has to be deposited under pressure to be stored; if it was in a stream, it would just bubble to the surface. You can't stop the flow of gas into the lake, only mitigate it's deadliness with venting.

And how exactly is lava at the bottom of the lake where there is no oxygen going to ignite methane? Furthermore, why are they looking so hard for a trigger? If CO2 is coming in faster than it is being removed, eventually the lake will become supersaturated and a fish fart would be sufficient to set off an overturn. Also, as climate change continues, presumably the lake will start to warm up, decreasing the amount of CO2 that could be held in solution, which would in turn decrease the time required for it to become supercritical.
