Fill it in with liberals and then cover with cement.

The article starts off pushing the typical global warming alarmism crap, indirectly implying that's what's behind this phenom.

But if you bother to read further, this little factoid in the middle of it totally destroys the AGW crap:

"The crater formation first started after a large chunk of forest was cleared nearby in the 1960s. Because the ground was no longer shaded in the warm, summer months, it heated up more rapidly than it had in the past, eventually causing the permafrost to melt and the ground to collapse."

In other words, "OOPS! Ignore what we just said above about AGW being the reason for this collapse."

So is this proof that is was much warmer 200,000 years ago? I think yes.

Seems to me it is likely that this process is what made the GRAND CANYON. The Colorado River didn’t carve it out. The Colorado River is just the deepest part of the megaslump where water ended up. The river is the product of the Canyon, not the other way around.

The recovered DNA from the animals that died during the Ice Age should be a treasure trove to geneticists. Just maybe they can clone some of the animals that lived during that era.

Saw this a few weeks ago on Destination Unknown with Josh Gates.
His story was men cleared a spot of forest and the sun beating on the spot started the melting. Just continues to grow.

He was there with a group Mastodon bone hunting.
They found a lot. Huge curved tusks and leg bones.

Some of the group were scientists looking to extract DNA from the bones. Their idea is to create an embryo with Mastodon DNA carried by an African elephant. They are hopeful on bringing the species back from extinction.

IMO a really really bad idea.

I didn’t realize they went extinct just a few thousand years ago.

In America, We ended the megaslump when we elected Trump.

[[is growing so rapidly that it’s uncovering long-buried forests, carcasses, and up to 200,000 years of historical climate records.]]

Soooo what these scientists are now admitting, unbeknownst to them of course’ is that life was flourishing, then dangerous killing cold cam along and ruined life on earth in that part of the world, and now the climate is finally getting back to what it once was, and as a result is revelation that that the climate was much warmer there i n the past some supposed 200,000 years ago?

“Conditions are varying so much that huge holes are appearing out of nowhere”

“new research has revealed that one of the biggest craters in the region, known by the local Yakutian people as the ‘doorway to the underworld’”

EXCEPT, this one was caused by MAN, by clear cutting the trees.

“The ravine opened up after a huge chunk of forest was cleared, which caused the land to sink but has been exacerbated by warmer temperatures melting the permafrost.
As more and more permafrost melts, the ravine continues to expand, which has been worsened further by flooding adding to its expansion.”

NOT appearing out of “nowhere”.
