Methane Bubbling to Arctic Ocean Surface in Giant Plumes

Here's a breaking news story about a huge discovery of methane gas reserves. The bad news is this methane is burping up into plumes from the arctic ocean into the atmosphere from holes in the ice that are 3,000 feet across. Russian scientists say they have discovered thousands of these holes emitting methane plumes from the arctic shelf.

According to Igor Semiletov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, methane gas is 20 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. Semiletov has studied these methane plumes for years but most of that time they were only about 30 meters in diameter. Semiletov said, "We carried out checks at about 115 stationary points and discovered methane fields of a fantastic scale — I think on a scale not seen before."

The question is, "Should we be concerned?"

EDITOR’S NOTE: While we espouse a conservative Judeo-Christian worldview and we neither condone the radical environmental movement advocating such things as valuing animals more than humans, nor do we agree with most of the junk science used to foment fears about global warming, however we do have to acknowledge that there may be issues of environmental concern expressed in this video. In the bible in Revelation chapter 16,verses 8-9 it states: “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” So it is clear that someday there appears to be something that may deplete the earth of its protective ozone layer, thus causing the sun to scorch the skin of human beings.
