Leaders fo the world are praying for a extraneous catastrophe to divert the attention of the populaces. We had the devil, then the nuclear Armageddom. Now there is nothing to keep populaces in their tip toes and thread the line. Oh byt the way the International Arctic Research Center, may be running short of cash and need to justify its existence. Wayo is everywhere TJ!

Very serious nonsense, this methane biz. According to mainstream science, the earth is supposed to have generated all the energy for all the changes that have taken place throughout its history. Plate tectonics drive continents and creates mountain chains, warm ocean water provides the energy for hurricanes, etc. There is no physics explanation for any of this. Most of what passes for "scientific" explanations are misinformation based on speculation, not science. Excellent example: comets are said to be dirty snowballs. The actual NASA data indicates that they are black and hot and lack water: "We know the ice is there," he said. "It's just well-hidden." … "Comet Borrelly is in the inner solar system right now, and it's hot, between 26 and 71 degrees Celsius (80 and 161 degrees Fahrenheit), so any water ice on the surface would change quickly to a gas, " said Dr. Bonnie Buratti, JPL planetary scientist and co-author of the paper. "As the components evaporate, they leave behind a crust, like the crust left behind by dirty snow." Borrelly is unusually dark for an object in the inner solar system. The comet's surface is about as dark as a blot of photocopy toner, possibly the darkest surface in the solar system. It is more like objects in the outer solar system such as the dark side of Saturn's moon Iapetus and the rings of Uranus." Let's see: a hot, black snowball with no evidence of ice. Hmmmmmmm sciencedaily.com After decades of claiming comets are dirty snowballs, some data emerges that barely supports what was promulgated as definitive: ". . . the first definitive evidence of surface ice on any comet … The area the ice covers is small. The surface area of Tempel 1 is roughly 45 square miles or 1.2 billion square feet. The ice, however, covers roughly 300,000 square feet. And only 6 percent of that area consists of pure water ice. The rest is dust." [emphasis added] What's that? ~0.25% water? nasa.gov Lotta nonsense.
