While some politicians and scientists embrace global warming and climate change with almost religious fervor, new evidence has surfaced to suggest the science is not in fact settled.
Researchers off the coast of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago have discovered that where methane gas bubbles up from seafloor seeps, surface waters above the seeps absorb twice as much carbon dioxide as surrounding waters, thus lessening the impact of climate change.
The previous assumption had been that methane seeps would inevitably increase the amount of greenhouse gases. Seeps occur above fissures on the seafloor caused of the earth’s tectonic activity.
Biogeochemist John Pohlman of the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, began the research near Svalbard to learn just how much methane the Arctic Ocean was contributing to the global balance in the atmosphere.
Find out just how surprising the findings were not only to the Pohlman team but other scientists looking at the same issue regarding methane. It’s all found on the next page.
Does this change the fact that we are still polluting just about every aspect of our planet!
Does this change the fact that we are humans doing a s**t load better than we used too. Your view is correct however it is also correct to piggyback that “does this change the fact that we are still polluting about every aspect of the planet LESS THAN WE USED TOO”
…tired of the left garbage scare s**t. You were honest and so am I. This is why America is getting better and not left. Please continue to help that narrative by bashing Humans with minuscule truth with no actual facts.
Founder of Green Peace, who by the way isn’t with the occult anymore, and a scientist has said that we are in a 30,000 year cooling trend.
Wonder how the Dummycrats are going to spin this one
Next we’ll be told that global cooling is caused by global warming.
Humm
Its almost june in maine, 50 degrees all day and night!
This has been a favorite topic since the GOV had been handing out money for research….long before I was in high school. I am 65 so if GLOBAL WARMING and all the experiments that they try to fund to make the NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET requests get higher than the year before… were true….THINK of all that money funding crawdad races?
Who gives a damn about Global Warming. We cannot stop it by throwing money at it.
It reminds me of ladies in beauty pageants always claiming they want “world peace”. Yet another topic throwing money at does not solve. Conservation & our own individual actions of treating everything & everyone with extra good care.
So back to the 70s? http://www.populartechnology.net/2013/02/the-1970s-global-cooling-alarmism.html
