NASA/JPL, using the Cassini instrumentation announced"
"The Titan Atmosphere Model Working Group met in Pasadena, CA this week to
discuss instrument measurements and ACS results from the
* No significant argon in Titan's atmosphere.
* Methane abundance is 1.8% +0.5%.
* CIRS and INMS density values are consistent with post-T0 models."

As some here have claimed the discovery of MUCH lower levels of Methane on Mars indicate that Life must be producing it there, is anyone making the same claim for Titan, or does its geologicly active status account for the methane? Could not lesser vulcanism account for the lesser Methane on Mars?
