This confirms one of my fundamental beliefs. Even if we solved this problem, and the rest of the overwhelming problems presented every day here at this website, and Eisenstein came along and said, "all we have to do is release 1,000 butterflies and that will counteract all this greenhouse gas," it won't matter! Because this Siberian ice is going to melt and that's going to make all of the gas coming out of these Escalades look like a five year old's fart.
It's too late! I don't think even Sarah Palin can solve this one. The dinosaurs will have their revenge after all, even though in the movies Raquel Welch conquers them all by herself. It may have been the kind of thing where the dinosaurs let her win, because she was so HOT back then, but this time around they are not pulling any punches.
It's also ironic because a lot of that dinosaur crap turned into diamonds in other places, but up in Siberia it all froze to become the "time bomb" they refer to below. Thanks a lot T-Rex! And they make out like these mammoths are so cute too. Stand behind a mammoth and take a whiff. That's your future right there.
Gas locked inside Siberia's frozen soil and under its lakes has been seeping out since the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. But in the past few decades, as the Earth has warmed, the icy ground has begun thawing more rapidly, accelerating the release of methane — a greenhouse gas 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide — at a perilous rate.
Some scientists believe the thawing of permafrost could become the epicenter of climate change. They say 1.5 trillion tons of carbon, locked inside icebound earth since the age of mammoths, is a climate time bomb waiting to explode if released into the atmosphere.
Obviously you haven't heard, Ensign, that "Global Climate Change" is a liberal hoax designed to take away your freedoms and destroy America.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of lame pseudo-science is this? It says the last Ice Age was 10,000 years ago, but everyone knows the earth is only 6,000 years old.
The weatherman can't tell us whether or not it's going to rain 2 weeks from now, and we're supposed to believe that "scientists" can tell us what the weather will be like decades hence? Puh-leeze.
