Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2298It's the treehuggers reflex action to make everyone feel guilty. Don't get me wrong though, I do like trees. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2298The methane is actually frozen beneath the seabed. Global warming = raising global sea temperatures = melting the frozen methane therefore releasing it as gas into our atmosphere. We're doomed. |

Would not the rise in magma to the floof surface cause the gas to melt and expand and spllt the canyon walls further apart ? Three yrs ago Scientist said temps would rise by 1.5.to 3 degreess more in 100 yrs. Thats not going to happen now smart Scientists.. |

A small temperature rise of a few degrees can cause the clathrate to release methane gas. The gas itself is not solid and therefore cannot melt. Shelf slumping and seabed movements of shelf deposits have little if anything to do with earthquakes. Also global temperatures have little to do with earthquakes or volcanic activity although they may have an effect on global temperatures due to released gasses and other pollutants. A 10.5 magnitude earthquake is just fancifull - an 8.0 on the Richter scale would give you a very bad hair day Finally George (defender of your constitution) Bush is the last person I would go to for an in depth analysis of either human induced or natural global temperature trends |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 107860 Sweden 01/09/2007 12:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The global warming theory is no axiom, however, the other theory is that global warming is coming from the sea not the air because the sea bed is getting warmd up from beneath and evaporation on the surface thus is increasing resulting in all this weather havoc as seen. We see how hot the volcanos are and wherefrom does all that jeat comes from? Inside. So they are trying to sell this one theory of emissions to tax epople to death, its just a theory not proven as good as the one I mentioned. So have a choice. There are other theories such as the bombardment of the globe by sun particles effecting the strength of globes magentic sphere etc. etc. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2298The sun is emitting more radiation. The radiation only gets absorbed by solid objects like the eart. The earths crust continues to warm up and is causing the low level warming that we see. The upper level atmosphere has remained mostly unchanged. As the earths surface warms, the plates expand and earthquakes happen. That is exactly why we are in deep doo doo. |

Mt Pinatubo errupted in 1991 and produced 15 million tons of the greenhouse gas Sulfer Dioxide. This is more carbon products than have been released by human hands since 1932. The sun is heating the surface of the planet, the earth is releasing its energy in form of Earthquakes and Volcanos. Nature is far more powerful than man will ever be. But the Sierra club will keep saying its the US's fault, it George Bush's fault. |
