Methane frozen beneath Arctic seabed destabilising, scientists warn
Frank Pope, Ocean Correspondent
Huge quantities of methane below the Arctic seabed are showing signs of destabilising, according to research conducted in the East Siberian Sea.
Scientists aboard Russian icebreakers have discovered that methane is leaking from the sub-sea permafrost far faster than had been previously estimated, raising concerns that climatic tipping points may have been reached.
As a greenhouse gas, methane is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide but emissions from subsea permafrost are not included in climate change prediction models.
"The sub-sea permafrost should act as a cap or seal, preventing leakage," Natalia Shakhova, of the University of Alaska, told The Times. "Beneath it there is methane that has accumulated at high pressure. But the permafrost is losing its ability to be an impermeable cap."
What a bunch of crap.

NSF issues world a wake-up call: "Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming."

Global warming? Scientists find methane source in Arctic seas.
Blah, blah, blah. AGW, Global Climate Change. It's all a dodge, an evil plot to make Al Gore and a whole bunch of these lying commie socialist antiGodfearing scientists who collude in secret code to get rich with OUR MONEY. They seek the power they need to take over the world. Damn atheist bastards, wouldn't know Christ if he stopped by the farm riding his T. Rex.
Thought it was bad when Hillary Clinton was coming to get our guns, with the UN and the blue helmet world police, with all these homersectionals and lesliannes getting married?
Damn cow fart stuff gets them all excited. Really takes the cake.
I Told Maybelle, I'm gonna have to get me a bigger flag, and buy some more ammo. And canned goods.
Lots of canned goods.
Wait until these bastards tell us we can't continue to live high off the hog anymore. What really gets me dammit, I know they're lying through their teeth, because it's damn cold out and I'm still shoveling snow.

Even if one wants to deny AGW, the case can be made that reducing air pollution from coal dust is a worthy cause.

Nah. Screw that. Who cares about 24,000 dead nameless, faceless people I'll never meet. Damn commie scientist geeks are lying, Beck told me so. Put your foot to the floor, and get that Hummer up to 60 before you slam on the brakes for the next stoplight. NASCAR, baby. NASCAR. It's American to gleefully waste gasoline like that. It shows we're strong and don't take any crap from them furriner types. Hell with them.
Leave the lights on. Who's counting, anyway. Cow farts? The answer is, eat more meat! Put another big fat steak on the grille, crank up the heat .. it's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight.
