Dude, you are right! I got the wrong movie.
I know a lot of creatures that need to be dropped in the artic
This article terrified me so much that I sat down and wrote out a check for $100 to Al Gore.
With that check in front meI whipped out my handy calculator in order to calculate the reduction in the of the earth’s temperature that my contribution would generate.
Using the latest models of climate change that includes the Cruz Correction Factor I quickly calculated that my $100 would have zero impact. Somewhat relieved, I tore up the check.
“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.”
Did the author give any thought as to how the virus got in the ice in the first place ? Hint - the ice has not always been ice.
Well, darn it all! I thought we were all gonna live. ;-)

Very potentially exciting development!
Warnings of serious mankind bio-threat more likely a “Twelve Monkeys” scenario, versus that from Climate change.

What a dystopia we’re gonna hand to our kids ;n)

Black oil?
Whew...thought it was a science story at first. We're safe!
“”Hi, I’m Dr. Oliver Peters. I just got back from the Artic, and now I’m on a world tour!”
Closing scene of Twelve Monkeys, one of the best uplifting films ever made!
My g0d, this Gallows humor community ROCKS!
We gotta have a mixer soon.

The weight of the icecaps tend to extrude rivers of ice from the bottoms of the ice sheet in the form of glaciers. During periods of global cooling these glaciers advance towards the seas, which ultimately releases any viruses they contain into the seas and/or the atmosphere. During periods of global warming these glaciers tend to retreat, which releases the viruses at their forward edges while the bulk of the viruses remain imprisoned in the no longer growing and flowing icecap. So, global warming should be expected to REDUCE the amount of ancient viruses being re-exposed to the current environment and global cooling should be expected to INCREASE the amount of ancient viruses being re-exposed to the environment from their icy prisons. once again, the reporters from the Washington Post don’t know the differences between up and down, left and right, or yes and no.

Yes, four ancient viruses found since 2004 - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Harry Reid.
News flash. Fifth virus found - ugly and mean - Nancy Pelosi.
Time for some creative medical treatments. Put them back in and on ice, forever.
But the X-Files never found a cure for the alien “oil” they found in an aircraft in the Arctic, or in the bilge of a Soviet freighter.

Since it will be warm outside all year, we won’t be huddled inside coughing and sneezing on each other; what’s a poor flu virus to do?
