Have the Russians released any data on the ancient pristine Antarctic “lake” they drilled down to last year?
I have no confidence in their project planning and scientific standards.
Numerous concerns were published on several blogs about their drilling procedures and the tremendous risk of contaminating lake samples and contaminating the lake itself.
It broke my heart that no one from a major research university stepped up and asked them to stop, or at least urged them to ask for assistance.
The lake they drilled into was perfectly preserved and thousands of years old.
It was a treasure chest of scientific information which may now be completely useless.
The Russians had a drunken celebration when they hit the lake and unfortunately someone tripped with a half a bottle of vodka in his hand. You guessed it, the bottle went straight down the bore hole contaminating the lake.
This precipitated a series of events that awoke a long dormant dinosaur like monster which swam a series of connecting tunnels into the open ocean. Now Tokyo is about to be attacked by this self same monster but they hope to calm it with daily doses of Stolychnoya 150 proof vodka!
I swear it’s all true...I saw it on the SY FY channel!
They fished for 3 straight days using everything from wigglers to minnows to spikes and Jenseneggs and not one perch was caught......They did catch a couple small bluegills however but threw them back.
The information from the project will be used to test and improve the predictions of how the current human-caused increases in greenhouses gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane) are altering the earth's climate.
What crap!
