Give algore time and he’ll figure out a way to tax this methane release too.

[fortunate sun]

In other words, the Earth farts.

[RegulatorCountry]

Ice causes farts? Tax it.

[OB1kNOb]

"It seems to me that we don't exactly know the relative contribution of the squeezing mechanism they describe, compared with changes in the oxygen concentration, and the continued activity of the microorganisms that are still active in the non-frozen parts of the soil profile...."

Earthfarts? Who knew?

Before they said, Gorebal warming would cause the tundra to mwlt and release methane. Now cold is gonna do it as well.

It’s plain to see.

We’re doomed.

The New American has had stories on this going back to the middle of last year!

[calenel]

Let’s see: an unanticipated methane surge, a colder than expected year. Yep, global warming.

[Doomonyou]

Palins Fault!

[Red Badger]

And yet the SUV is considered as a prime source of global warming...............idiocy.....supreme idiocy...........

Where is the article? There’s just a sign up form to post comments. I don’t want to post comments.

Ah, so, it is even worse than we imagined ~ methane keeps on squeezing out of the ice and overwhelms the Earth choking all life.

We are doomed I tell you, doomed.

At least this phenomenon is unrelated to GW. If anything this squeezing is stronger this winter, even if the amount of gas evolved is trivial.

Quick...sue the microbes. Get the EPA on their butts (if they have butts) That’ll learn ‘em.

The emissions, thought to be squeezed out by the growth of surface frost

The Earth squeezed one out when it thought that nobody was paying attention.

[Tarpon]

If you live where there are swamps(not PC) you already knew this. It’s what decaying plants do, after they have exhausted all their CO2 consuming lifetimes.

[Buckhead]

Freezing causes warming.

[Old Professer]

“Pinning down such details of the natural methane cycle, adds Christensen, could help to predict how climate change-induced thawing in the Arctic may release dangerous amounts of the greenhouse gas. “This will help us understand the starting point for those types of changes.”

Here they are, admitting that they have blathering all along about how AGW is responsible for the thawing, allowing the release in the first place to restating the same dire possible effect after finding that they hadn’t the slightest idea that they were 180 degrees wrong about maximum emissions all along.

What made them think that a little frost or ice buildup would trap a gas that is 1.7 thw eight of air in the first place?

I guess we can give up on the notion of camping out there anytime soon.

Gee, extra ice causes more emissions of a greenhouse gas which, in turn, raises the temperature, reducing the amount of ice.

It's almost as if the earth were able to regulate its own temperature. What a concept!
