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.
This has been going on for over a century.
g20 is a bunch of crooks
Does this mean that cows can fart again? Oh good… pssst stupid shift. GOD will end it when He is ready. U arrogant
Go back and check the soil core samples – the earth has proven to have regular ‘heat up’ as freeze cycles…
quick, pass some tax bills and send your extra cash to Al Gore.
Not real, done my research. It’s a hoax
Kurt Mizell Climate change and sun spots have a 98% correlation both on earth and neighboring planets. Man is a mild irritant at best. Mother earth rules.
Fukuashima will have us all dead way before we need to worry about any climate changes…how long will the ocean life last with radiation pouring into it daily?
Anyone who thinks that Humans cause Climate Change is not using their brains! In fact, the Elliptical orbit of the Earth around the Sun on a tiltled axis accounts for the 40 year Climate cycles. To think man caused Climate Change and can change the weather makes man God. God is still in control. Nothing happens by accident.
Man isn’t a mild irritant, either. No need to patronize these Climate Change alarmists.
