Every year its the same thing.When its summer in the northern hemisphere they show us the ice melting in the Arctic and then
when its summer in the south they show us Antarctica melting.Wake me up when they are melting in winter

In Anchorage, I have smelled methane strongly in the heavy wind three times this year. Also, I picked someone up from Barrow this week that told me the Ice moved out for three days and they could see blue water and waves in the Arctic. This hasn't happened since humans have lived there in March.

Re: "An event unprecedented in human history is today" - Methane gas at record highs
Abrupt climate change just around the corner peeps. Looks like the whole Arctic ice sheet is on the move and breaking up early:

March 22, 2013 video of Arctic ice breaking, cracks and on the move: [link to youtu.be]

Paul Beckwith, climatologist studying abrupt climate change: "For the record; I do not think that any sea ice will survive this summer. An event unprecedented in human history is today, this very moment, transpiring in the Arctic Ocean. The cracks in the sea ice that I reported on my Sierra Club Canada blog and elsewhere over the last several days have spread and at this moment the entire sea ice sheet (or about 99% of it) covering the Arctic Ocean is on the move. Clockwise. The ice is thin, and slushy, and breaking apart."

Beckwith goes on to say, "This is abrupt climate change in real-time. Humans have benefited greatly from a stable climate for the last 11,000 years or roughly 400 generations. Not any more. We now face an angry climate. One that we have poked in the eye with our fossil fuel stick and awakened. And now we must deal with the consequences. We must set aside our differences and prepare for what we can no longer avoid. And that is massive disruption to our civilizations."

(from Part-time professor and climatologist Paul Beckwith)


Record Methane in Arctic early March 2013:

"Methane levels for this period are at record highs in the Barents and Norwegian Seas, i.e. the highest levels ever recorded by IASI, which is is short for Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer, a Fourier transform spectrometer on board the European EUMETSAT Metop satellite that has supplied data since 2007."
[link to arctic-news.blogspot.co.uk]

"This has the potential to release vast quantities of methane trapped by ice below the surface - billions of tonnes of methane. World-wide, peat bogs store at least two trillion tons of CO2. This is equivalent to a century of emissions from fossil fuels."
[link to www.examiner.com]

This my friend, is the REAL REASON DHS ordered all those bullets. We are living on our own self-induced asteroid. Don't need to worry about what's incoming but rather what we are currently standing on.

According to science, this planet has been around for 4 billion years. In that time, earth has experienced several climate shifts. Does it make the slightest sense at all that 150 years of oil and coal burning will end life on the planet as we know it? What utter horseshit. Just like gun regulation, it's another form of manipulation and control. Give up your freedoms for the greater good. Give up your right to self defense. Give up your right to move freely about in your own car. Ride an electric bus or a fucking bicycle. Well fuck that. These assholes can all go take a flying fucking dive into a ravine of rusty fence posts.

The climate is changing.. like it ALWAYS has done. Science is correct in that observation, but it's not like we needed them to point that out anyway.. only a doofus would believe the climate remains static (all systems are dynamic). The real idiocy is this belief that mankind is somehow responsible for all this change in 150 years of activity. FUCKING. MORONS. Sorry, but the only thing powerful enough to alter the global climate is THE SUN (or wider cosmos).

This whole hysteria is just political psuedo-science "doom". What better way to strip the world of freedom and impose control than create a scientific religious belief that we're fucking the planet and we "must do something radical to save it".

It boggles the mind that the current methane crisis (because that's what it is) gets so little attention by ANYONE. It's not a joke. People don't seem to realize that a lot of shit going on in the oceans right now (mass die offs and bizarre animal behavior) are tied directly to the methane releases that are going on with increasing frequency. Not to mention the alarming rate in which the ice sheets are disintegrating and releasing methane into the atmosphere. And this is not something that is going to slow - we've reached a tipping point and it is just going to get worse until there's no one left to give a shit...

I think people have no argument when it comes down to it. Climate deniers often bitch about how were taking away peoples rights? That is their sole argument. Stop controling us they say. Its a lie?!?

In reality the science isn't easily done. In which it may be a smaller issue than some argue it is. However. The main people responsible for the anti climate change rally were the very corporations that are aleged to be causing the climate change.

Big oil, the nuclear cartel, general motors... They were given specific guidlines by the epa once upon a time to protect the surrounding environment from ecological damages. This is not the way it work's today I'm afraid. The companies that denied climate change have created monopolies, to the extent that all liability has been thrown out the window. The very same companies lobby billion dollar contracts with the EPA daily. Everyones pockers are full, and everyone is happy. What could go wrong for an institute that has donated billions of dollars into scientific communities that greenlight any and every project that their financiers have invested in?

Take fukushima as an example. We will raise the radiation limits by factors of 100% or more. This will compensate for the recent containment releases that are effecting humanity. Although these very limits were specifically designed by a educated scientific panel that specializes in the feild. We argue that because the levels are more dangerous than the set limit, we must compensate by simply raising the( levels.

Eventually we will meet our breaking point with that kind of logic. That is just common sense. The levels are designed for the sole reason of protecting our planet and its inhabitants
This entire brigade is guilty of crimes on humanity Climate deniers have been led to believe that the science evident is contriversal (according to their [googlevid]

All this gives testimony to the truth of the Bible. In the end of days, the climate and weather will go crazy before the return of Jesus Christ. This has been prophesied long ago, and we are living in these times.

Those who accept Jesus Christ will go to heaven and those who don't will perish forever. It is good news for Christians, but bad news for the unsaved and world.

Frankly, this is just the beginning of the chaos, there is so much more to come. Just wait and see. But Jesus can save your life.
