I may just divert to Toronto from Chicago and pay this writer a visit so I can tell him to his face what an idiot he is, or have my two new Canadian friends, Guy and Stuart, do it for me. He deserves it. How do the publishers of this newspaper reconcile printing such blatant idiocy based on what the writer calls “weeks old” science? How does such a headline get published? At first I thought maybe it was just the copy editor at fault, making a dumb headline, but then I read this in the body of the story:
Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012, as planet Earth accelarates [sic] into a greed-driven horrific catastrophe.
6.7 billion people in the world today, and 4.5 billion will die in less than two years due to a temperature rise that will be less in magnitude than our regularly experienced variance? There’s a link at the end, feel free to sound off. We need to remind this newspaper of this in 2012 – Anthony

Hydrate hypothesis illuminates growing climate change alarm
Compiled by John Stokes
A recent scientific theory called the “hydrate hypothesis” says that historical global warming cycles have been caused by a feedback loop, where melting permafrost methane clathrates (also known as “hydrates”) spur local global warming, leading to further melting of clathrates and bacterial growth.
In other words, like western Siberia, the 400 billion tons of methane in permafrost hydrate will gradually melt, and the released methane will speed the melting. The effect of even a couple of billion tons of methane being emitted into the atmosphere each year would be catastrophic.
The “hydrate hypothesis” (if validated) spells the rapid onset of runaway catastrophic global warming. In fact, you should remember this moment when you learned about this feedback loop-it is an existencial turning point in your life.
By the way, the “hydrate hypothesis” is a weeks old scientific theory, and is only now being discussed by global warming scientists. I suggest you Google the term.

fyi
OMG! We’re all gonna DIE!
And you would think a Canadian Newspaper would be in favor of a little warming.
Not in Florida. We have a natural counter to the hydrate loop. It is the calcite loop, formed when the natural base rock in Fl reacts to methane. The resulting product is water and CO2. We are safe. Sorry about all you other guys.
LOL!

ROTFLMAO!!
Let’s assume for a minute, for the sake of argument (and amusement), that this hydrate hypothesis is accurate. What would be the point of trying to do anything about it? Or doing anything at all except preparing for our imminent collective demise? If true their is no point in trying to solve any of our problems other than how we, individually, meet our makers. Why bother even writing about, much less studying, the hydrate hypothesis? In two years it will all be over. lol
Let’s not forget that global warming increases dandruff and jock itch, but it does cause a decline in snowshoe accidents.
No way---now you'll either drown or suffocate.
Drowning and suffocating are the same. We have learned to breath CO2. We are safe.
as planet Earth accelarates [sic] into a greed-driven horrific catastropheThanks Ernest. I agree, it's garbage.
Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012Yeah, I think there's a movie about it.
