I wonder what they will replace it with ?

Some climate change proponents are saying the huge amounts of methane gas, stored under the Arctic ice is a potential "ticking time bomb." They claim that we must stop extracting fossil fuels that put more CO2 into our atmosphere or face disaster.
Methane is only one of a number of gases called greenhouse gases (GHG) that can absorb and emit infrared radiation, or in other words, this means they can trap and absorb heat. The most abundant GHG is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and CFC's. By measuring atmospheric infrared radiation, climatologists are able to detect trends in the Earth's climate. Although methane is not the most abundant GHG, it is one of the strongest, being 80-times more potent than carbon dioxide. Methane is actually 21 times more efficient in absorbing infrared radiation than CO2, even though it only hangs around 10 years in the atmosphere. Knowing these well documented facts about methane brings us to the latest predictions and warning.

Paging Roland Emmerich.
Put this down as more BS. They never tire of putting the BS out to keep the government grants coming and to put as many chains on the American economy as they can.
How incredibly sad to see what science has become. One alarmist political meme after another.
Quick, slaughter all the cows to stop the supply of methane gas.
I detect some methane right here where I sit. I send it in Al Gore’s general direction.
Termites release more methane than all other sources combined. How many million years have termites been around?
I sleep well knowing that 500 years from now these people will be looked at like the people who imprisoned scientists for Heliocentrism.
They will forever be mocked and derided and their ancestors will not claim them. Relegated to the freaks/fringes bin of history...Which is actually the line we should take with this since so many ‘scientists’ wish to be remembered for their skill/knowledge/discoveries above all else.
We should send about a million of these morons to hell and see if it thaws out.
Perhaps that is where the methane is...
It’s just like a ticking time bomb, see?
A loooong time ago, Mother Gaia ripped one off that was so big, she made the Sahara desert in north Africa.
Imagine how many Polar bears would die at Santa’s southern summer home if it happened again.
I meant penguins.
Be faster and more humane to slaughter all the climate change scientists
And that's a good thing. Natural gas.
Lmao, the Earth must be stopped from making GAS!
So which is it, are pharts supposed to be good or bad from us? There are stories out this weekend tooting both sides of the argument.
tooting, touting, what’s the diff?
Its been there a very long time. If climate variations are a result of how much methane leaks out at any given time, there is virtually nothing that man can do to alter it.
This is how they’re going to eliminate livestock.
Does this mean we’re all gonna die again?
I wonder what they will replace it with ?
Yeah...and they will be just emerging from a mini ice age...that lasted 500 years.
The suns magnetic field is declining...so by about 2020 there will be no sunspots...
Last time that happened there was a mini ice age that lasted from 1350 to 1750.
