Love your pic

The methane story dont wash,where is the ejected material?
The crate rim is way to small and the side too smooth.

Explosions dont leave a nice clean hole ffs.

Everything is caused by global warming...

LOL

We had moles in the garden a few years ago.

While I was gardening yesterday I saw the tunnels they had made were eroding .

In one place there was a line of perfectly formed holes . In another the whole tunnel was collapsed.

We very rarely have ice but we have lots of rain.

If a picture of these holes was expanded to look huge it would be like the perfectly rounded sink holes.

I am not saying these large sink holes that appear are made by giant moles from a long time ago but ................

you never know

"The last July was the wettest this century and the third with the lowest temperature, according to the Climatological Bulletin published today in the Portuguese Institute of Marine and Atmospheric website."

Very cool summer indeed...

Global warming is.

Yes, I see what you mean. And they look almost perfectly round...

Does anyone remember a few years ago, posted here on GLP, that there were frozen methane geysers popping up all around the Arctic Circle, especially on the Northern Russian side of the Arctic Circle? I believe the post said about 10,000 of them were seen?

If you look at a graph of global temperatures over the past 10yrs, and then compare that directly to CO2 levels and methane levels, I think you will find that I will punch you in the mother effing face.

Methane is far more worse than CO2...
The problem I have with "global warming" is about scientists saying it is "manmade". That is the biggest lie of them all.
The right word used now is "climate Change".

IDK but if there is enough movement happening in the core of the earth to move magnetic north towards Russia; could a huge influx of movement at the core cause a methane explosion, if it disturbed a large methane pocket deep in the ground??

Like I said I don't know but would it be possible?

Extremely, extremely unlikely. Do you think methane is a metal? With that said, I don't think the magnetic poles even move metals around in the earths crust/core. Possibly except when it's molten lava.

Just means it is about five decades too late to do anything about global warming . now the earth is on the way to a new ice age

Same link:

The Antarctic surge is so big that overall, although Arctic ice has decreased, the frozen area around both poles is one million square kilometres more than the long-term average.

uh no methane is a gas, I am talking about this

At the heart of our planet lies a solid iron ball, about as hot as the surface of the sun. Researchers call it "the inner core." It's really a world within a world. The inner core is 70% as wide as the moon. It spins at its own rate, as much as 0.2° of longitude per year faster than the Earth above it, and it has its own ocean: a very deep layer of liquid iron known as "the outer core."

Earth's magnetic field comes from this ocean of iron, which is an electrically conducting fluid in constant motion. Sitting atop the hot inner core, the liquid outer core seethes and roils like water in a pan on a hot stove. The outer core also has "hurricanes"--whirlpools powered by the Coriolis forces of Earth's rotation. These complex motions generate our planet's magnetism through a process called the dynamo effect.


Could this seething boiling outer core of disturbed a pocket of methane gas and caused the resulting outward explosion?

Indeed a massive escape of pressurised gas would cause rupturing (cracks), probably randomly distributed over a wide area. Not a perfect hole, that's absurd, they certainly didn't cover the mechanism whereby this gas caused a perfectly smooth walled round hole. Do they think they are explaining to 5 year olds?

Iron "the temperature of the surface of the sun" would not be in a "IRON BALL". At that temp it would be more of a plasma.

I believe there is a tiny star at the center of the planet (no I am not talking hollow Earth. But still a tiny star. It would explain everything in a neat little package.

Methane "melts" from solid at -296.4 degrees F. Where on Earth is the temperature -296.3 degrees F where methane becomes a solid in the first place so it can "melt" into those geysers?

She seems uninformed and constipated.

1965 Underdog series,

King Mange firing off his mole hole gun. Perhaps space baeed wepons, "testing" or a warning.

Watch it Trayvon....assault is illegal and can get you shot!

You are correct, the liquid outer core is a constantly moving, hence earths rotation.


Extrapolating from that measurement, scientists estimated the boundary between Earth's inner and outer core is a searing 10,832 F, give or take about 930 degrees, at a pressure of 3.3 million atmospheres (or 3.3 million times the atmospheric pressure at sea level).

Can someone point me out just when in the last few hundred million years the climate HASNT changed.

FFS

Methane Death Spiral, everything else is a distraction.

So it's global warming, big deal..
