Arctic Methane ‘Bomb’ Starting to Blow?
Scientists have discovered massive amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas far more powerful than carbon dioxide, bubbling up from the Arctic seabed, according to an exclusive report published today in the U.K.’s Independent. The revelation raises the frightening possibility that vast quantities of methane long trapped below undersea permafrost will enter the atmosphere and set off runaway global warming. Known as the “Clathrate Gun Hypothesis,” the theory is held as a likely reason that 70 to 96 percent of all species on Earth went extinct at the end of the Permian 251 million years ago.
I read these Global Warming articles and keep wondering why this video with many scientist references and facts is never talked about… http://www.rightalk.com/asx/ggws.asx …. Just a healthy counterpoint for global warming supporters, comment on it all you want, just give it a chance and watch it before passing judgement…
