We are so frikkin doomed, I think I just wet my pants.

Quick. Kill all the cows. We've got to compensate somehow!

This photo provided by the journal Nature shows Sergey Zimov, director of the Northeast Science Station in Siberia, examining a cross-section of yedoma, carbon trapped in permafrost, along the bank of the Kolyma River in Siberia. The shiney surface of the cliff represents massive ice wedges. The dark sections in between are soil inclusions which contain ice-age organic carbon, left over from the Pleistocene steppe-tundra ecosystem, which, when deposited into lake bottoms, provided food for bacteria, that produce methane.

Kill all the cows!
I was getting to that in a minute, Darn! ;-P

Lately, I'm finding the desperation to grow the global warming industry hysterically funny. Overblown articles like this are classic examples of "climate change" hype.

Relax. It was just me. Too much Taco Bell.

Scientists aren't quite sure whether methane or carbon dioxide is worse.

I hear ya.

Liberalism, Nanny Statism, Climate Change.. all religions in and of themselves,, collectively.. It's a real quagmire.. ;-)

More reasons to keep Mexican food south of the border....

Methane from the premafrost melt, methane from the ocean bottoms thawing, methane from the zillions of ruminant animals, methane from oil wells, methane from volcanoes........Obviously, it's ALL Bush's fault............

So planet earth is permanently incapable of recovering from a 1° increase in average temperatures? It's a wonder we made it this far, dontcha think?

Don't I remember Ronald Reagan being severely criticized for stating the methane was the culprit?

It's OK, one of the lead pics at Yahoo re: Global warming and an alternative fuel source, that discounts the recent report of more oil reserves found in the Gulf of Mexico.. the caption speaks for itself.

We are witnessing nothing more than a movement attempting to transfer wealth from one group of folks to another, imo.

An attendee inspects a fuel cell hybrid Audi at the National Hydrogen Association's (NHA) annual convention in Long Beach, California, March 13, 2006. Enzymes rather than scarce and expensive platinum may hold the answer to the hydrogen fuel cells of the future to halt global warming and as the oil runs out, a scientist said on Wednesday.

But you can't cook the meat, cause that would increase globull warming.........

Good thing we killed of them buffaloes in the 1800's....
