It your fault, you bad old Freepers ... cause you laughed at Al Gore ... and you refused to enact a carbon tax ... and now a zombie virus is going to rise out of the muck and mire and kill us all!

Let's get one thing out of the way really quickly: The ancient, giant virus recently discovered in melting Arctic ice is not going to kill you.
But here's the bad news: It's not the first ancient virus that scientists have found frozen — it's the fourth found since 2003. And you can be sure it won't be the last. And with climate change causing massive melts, it's not totally alarmist to suggest that something deadly might one day emerge from a long, icy sleep.
As if climate change didn't already suck enough, right?

I dunno what the hell’s in there, but it’s weird and pissed off, whatever it is.
There’s a giant virus in the white house. We’ve been sick with him for too long, but hopefully we will have some medicine in 2016.
Stopped reading at “climate change”.
Oh noes!
Remember that is how they got rid of “The Blob.”
Dropped in the Artic.
Sounds like something from the X-files.
“...As if climate change didn’t already suck enough, right?...”
This “writer” and much of the Left have dropped all pretense of wording things in an intellectual manner. This one has all the depth of a Valley Girl.
Global warming is steaming bullshit. That said, the various warming cycles have historically led to viruses and bacteria being released from various iced over areas. It’s called permafrost, but it is not permanent ice. Bogs and water areas come and go over the millennia and organisms trapped in those environments can come back to life.
Nobody has even considered that mammoths, for instance, that they find melting out of the permafrost may or do contain strains of organisms that are only dormant. Better to isolate, revive, and characterize the organisms they find before they spring full scale into human or animal populations.
It’s that damned blob that Steve McQueen dropped up there in the 50’s!
Wow, that’s extremely professional writing. She writes like a five year old talks.
You don't suppose that Global Warming melted Obama out of an iceberg? That would explain why he doesn't have a birth certificate.
Interestingly, the TV show “The Last Ship” found the cure for the world-wide pandemic in the arctic ice.
Wut? Like tuna melts, Rachel?
Himalayan glaciers growing despite global warming
OMG WAAGTD!
The Thing!
LOL, look at that symbolic Liberal head the bear is clinging to.
Wait until it explodes Mr. Bear. Any second now...
We’re all gonna die!
