Methane Gas Causes Arctic Melting:


Humans might not be to blame for the latest piece of news that has caused new concerns about global warming. A newly-discovered, naturally occuring methane leak over the Arctic Ocean could play a role in future climate change, according to a NASA scientist.

www.usnews.com...

I am glad the scientific community is finally accepting that all of that global warming nonsense was crazy!




What a horrible misreading of what the article actually says.

Nothing in the article brings into question global warming one way or the other.

And in fact they point out the methane leak was opened up by the warming climate which is melting the ice field which once capped it!

Chill out, I was replying to someone's joke about cow flatulence...at least I thought I was. I don't think I'm still on the thread I thought I was that seemed tongue in cheek about hippies. Every now and again we have a bit of levity on these threads. I meant no offense or derailment.

Wow what an epic thread fail.

The "naturally occuring" methane leak is due to a warming Arctic - which is being caused by man.


This is just more proof of the feedback cycle relationship between CO2, temperature AND methane - and it's just more proof that man-made global warming is even worse than we thought.



I swear, as the evidence for global warming continues to grow and grow the arguments made by deniers just continue to get more and more ignorant.

no, its more likely caused by oil and gas leaks from drilling reclesly... Big Problem style.
