Scary stuff...anyone got a light!
1) the percentage of methane in the atmosphere is very small.
2) the correlation is based on a model of just 4 factors, not tested in the real complex world.
3) you have to assume carbon dioxide is harmful.
Some of these “bubbles” are big enough to tank down a ship in seconds.

Oh the horror! The world is one big carbon footprint.
Only post items from your blog once, and only post them into the bloggers forum. Massive Arctic farts are not Activism sidebar material.
Perfect time for the EPA to file a lawsuit against God.
No, the sea cows have nothing to do with it. Remember, Christmas is only ten days away and Santa Claus is just gassing up the reindeer for his Christmas Eve travels.
Quick, start harvesting it before it damages the atmosphere!

Hot tea through the nostrils in not fun!
I had a clever comment about whales causing global warming, but your zinger knocked the wind out of my sails. LOL
I’d like to see how the enlightened liberals try to educate the planet itself. Where does one go to administer the fines?
Thanks geraldmcg.

Here are several related links a friend sent me. I am sending him this post.

I have not read these yet, but was told the Alaska fires were very severe. Also, last year I saw something about a Russian scientist who was very concerned that large quantities of methane were being released from the Lena River delta emptying into the Arctic Ocean. There are those who believe that a giant methane burp caused a major extinction event about 55 million years ago.
In central Michigan in the 1960s there was usually some methane fire somewhere burning someone’s lawn or field.
Thanks for all the links. Methane, mine it or it burps out to enter the atmosphere. My thinking is as was stated above, mine it, burn it, produce energy from the methane’s energy.
