The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is MOD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I was in Anuktuvuk Pass the other day and I thought damn Big Bill, stop farting, and he chuckled, knowing what I must have been thinking and said, "the tundra is melting" Whew, that Methane STINKS. Anuktuvuk Pass is located in the Brooks Range of Alaska. Alaska, its big.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26159

Scientists have today warned that global warming could rapidly accelerate as millions of tons of methane escape from the arctic seabed. According to preliminary findings, as the Arctic region gets warmer massive deposits of the greenhouse gas - 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide - are rising to the surface.

Orjan Gustafsson of Stockholm University, one of the expedition’s leaders, said in an email from their Russian research ship that, for the first time, the team had discovered an extensive area of methane release so intense that “the methane did not have time to dissolve into the seawater but was rising as methane bubbles to the sea surface.” The team believe that the accelerated release is connected to rising temperatures throughout the Arctic region.

Gustafsson went on to report that “the conventional thought has been that the permafrost ‘lid’ on the sub-sea sediments on the Siberian shelf should cap and hold the massive reservoirs of shallow methane deposits in place.” However, extensive research across thousands of square miles of the Arctic seabed had revealed growing evidence “that the permafrost lid is starting to get perforated and thus leak methane.”

Apparently, two different sets of scientists have made similar discoveries recently. Exclusive: The methane time bomb (Sept 23) [link to www.independent.co.uk] Hundreds of methane plumes discovered (Sept 25) [link to www.independent.co.uk]

On the good side... While this would potentially spring a lot of heating, fast, on the world, it also has an atmospheric lifespan of about 8 years. So, even if this happens relativly quickly, the results should pass in about 20 years for the worst of it, provided of course that level of warming does not trigger something even bigger, heating OR cooling...

Some even pretend that it has the capacity to make the sea boiling if all the methane is released. Knowing that the oceans are responsible for global climate we can coclude that the sea rather than the air is warming up. This is probably due to the coming pole shift. as the molten iron spins faster the sea bed is getting hotter. I don't like the prospect of the sea getting hotter. hmm

Lucky for us global warming is bullshit. As a scientific theory, global warming theory has missed the mark on literally every single prediction to date. It is religion, not science, and it's one of the more daft religions out there.
