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.
The author never introduced Pohlman, who is he? What is his expertise? Was this just an excerpt from someone else’s paper?
Duh! On a dead planet, like Venus, it builds up and runs away.
On a living planet, like Earth, something living utilizes it and keeps it under control.
Christ almighty, how do you idiots think the Earth got along without your little monkey fingers getting into everything?
More truths of science foolishness by some that it is not happening except Earth’s normal changes every 26000 years if rotation thru our Milky Way
Don’t tell Al Gore he’ll$#%&!@*his pants. Are we responsible for all climate change? NO are we partially responsible YES. That being said volcanoes and other processes around the Earth emit more greenhouse gasses than is possible for humans to put out.
Anyone that doesn’t recognize that “global warming ” is a communist plot to redistribute wealth has very little mental capacity.
Except for the facts dumbass

They changed the name from Global Warming to Climate Change because none of Goore’s predictions happened. Climate change is a broad discriptor that they can put anything into thay category!
Eric L Runion facts don’t lie…the bulk of the super rich are indeed democrats as you erroneously equate business owners as “the rich”…facts don’t lie and facts don’t care about your feelings either
Surprise!!!!
