But what a farewell that grand old man has made his programs through the years synonymous with quality. So I hope he sticks around for a while.<br />As for the methane situation, I've heard of it bubbling out of Siberian swamps, but this new discovery is truly alarming. And I wonder if it's happening in our Arctic and we don't even know it. We've been on this planet for such a short time, we have so much to learn. And as I said in my post, what you don't know can kill you...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73743518843188506222011-12-16T00:22:41.175-05:002011-12-16T00:22:41.175-05:00hi Way Way Up...it sure is, first you smell the ro...hi Way Way Up...it sure is, first you smell the rotten eggs and then you die.<br />I'm not too worried about it as threat to our existence, but if huge quantities of methane start pouring out of the sea or the permafrost, we could be in trouble sooner than we think. There is however a delicious irony about the H2S extinction. When all those dead fish and other organisms settled on the bottom they went on to create great quantities of oil...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-69852121512844345422011-12-15T08:16:04.500-05:002011-12-15T08:16:04.500-05:00WWU,

Sad to think that to satisfy our addiction to oil, we are willing to sacrifice the lives of so many creatures, as well as our own species.<br /><br />If the release of methane in the permafrost and seabeds is accelerating, we are in deep trouble. The forests of the planet are already suffering from drought and infestation. If these carbon sinks begin to turn to carbon sources, we will face uncontrollable global warming, and Canada will not escape resulting weather extremes, food shortages, and civil unrest.<br /><br />How Canadians can continue to support the expansion and export of Tar Sands bitumen is beyond me.LMAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-82033010624612876852011-12-14T23:17:16.913-05:002011-12-14T23:17:16.913-05:00H2S is pretty nasty stuff for sure.
