extremophiles; something that can live pretty much anywhere without public assistance.. like OWS protesters.

So, they’re saying this would be worse than cow flatulence? Will it smell as bad?

[MNnice]

That settles it. It’s obvious we need to raise taxes to fix it.

[irishtenor]

Why is it lurking? Why doesn’t it just join up like everybody else on FR?

Now we know where Albore’s home away from home is.

[rockinqsranch]

Wondering how much they got in grants for that one?

[AU72]

Wow, let private enterprise find a way to extract this out and save the world instead of hand-wringing.

The Norwegians planted their flag at the pole first and during WWII the Germans planted all kinds of markers everywhere during overflights by Luftwaffe crews. Since the Europeans claimed it, let them solve this crisis.

Since the ice is basically miles thick across the continent, the danger of collapse due to decomposing residues from ancient forests is pretty slim. Of course, I’m not a hydrologist of climatologist or any other earth science researcher. I’m just a skeptical schlep - with credentials similar to Algore (better, actually).

There’s something down there...and it’s farting.

Just think. All those Republican microbes...

If the ice sheet collapses, the greenhouse gas could be released into the atmosphere and dramatically worsen global warming, researchers warn ...

I doubt it.

Sky is falling BS. Watch, this will be used for measures to curb our rights and freedoms.

[Venturer]

Drill for it and use it.

Make a car that runs off methane.

[montanajoe]

Drill baby Drill..before it to late

“If the ice sheet collapses, the greenhouse gas could be released into the atmosphere and dramatically worsen global warming, researchers warn in a study published in the Aug. 30 issue of the journal Nature.”

Translation: Give Us Government Grant Money, Baby!!!

The article doesn’t mention that billions of tons of methane hydrate coat the sea floor on continental shelfs all around the world. Not just in Antarctica.

"Microbes possibly feeding on the remains of an ancient forest" ... no doubt, those forests, in addition to trees and other types of vegetation, contained an abundance of BUSHES!.

So that settles it. Once again, Bush's fault!

we are going to die. . . lol

[SparkyBass]

They are wrong.
All the earth’s excess methane is in my dog.
