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.
Yeah, it’s been changing for 4.5 billion years

Oops…
You’re a jackass!
You are the one lacking mental capacity. The climate is always changing. You never heard of seasons? Solar minimums and maximums? Orbital variations? How about the massive earthquake in Japan that actually shifted the Earths tilt?
All of that plays a role in climate. You would do better to ask yourself why after decades scientists and climatologists bailed on the term “Global Warming” in favor of the 100% generic term “climate change”?
Could it be they realized that global warming could not be proven to be man made?
Oh and don’t play that “sea level” rise is man made nonsense either. Earth is hit by millions of tons of space rock containing ice every year. Every ocean based volcano causes seas to rise as the new land displaces the water.
Melting ice sheets do not cause a rise because water expands when it freezes and returns to normal volume when it melts. Only a massive calving of the ice shelves that caused a rapid acceleration of glaciers towards the sea would. Glacial retreat also contributes.
Next time you want to pretend you actually know anything perhaps you should present facts instead of just running your mouth and rambling on about nothing. I guess it’s your lack of mental capacity that limits your abilities…
Sure they did lmao
33k scientists say it’s f**e dog.
Interesting
I’d rather support Trump than Hillary any day.
Enjoy your poverty and ignorance
