[00:42:05] <exec> 08└─Because natural human blubber doesn't act as insulation, due to the fact that blood circulates through it all the way to the outer surface (the skin). That's why obese people aren't in a constant state of overheating.

[00:42:14] <exec> 08└─In what way would a heavy gas provide ANY better insulation than a light one? The only way that springs to mind is perhaps water pressure slowly pushed all the gas out, collapsing the internal voids and thus reducing insulation. Heavy gasses may migrate out slower.
