[Hollywood Jesus]

Once again, it seems that you have taken the minority view. Don’t @me because I CBFd giving oxygen to laypersons who think that they know better than phd level academics. It’s like arguing with an oncology radiologist that you don’t have cancer because you read up about it on the weekend and saw some stuff on youtube.


Researchers from Stockholm University on the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean reported from the site that "vast methane plumes" were rising from the ocean floor probably due to a tongue of warmer Atlantic water that is penetrating into the Arctic. The observation shocked the scientists on board who issued a press release. A recent news story on the Oden's mission also reflected their strong concerns.

Meanwhile, a crater spotted in the frozen Yamal peninsula in Siberia earlier this month was probably caused by methane released as permafrost thawed due to higher temperatures, researchers in Russia say. The science journal Nature carried a report of the finding.

The Problem with Methane

Methane is a greenhouse gas as is carbon dioxide. Human activity has increased the amount of methane in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Methane is particularly problematic as its impact is 34 times greater than CO2 over a 100-year period, according to the latest IPCC Assessment Report. A significant source of human-made methane emissions is fossil fuel production. For example, methane is a key by-product of the rapidly rising global extraction and processing of natural gas. Other top sources of methane come from the digestive process of livestock and from landfills, which emit it as waste decomposes.

None of that deals with the stability of methane in an atmosphere that has a composition like ours.

Big, bad carbon dioxide can stay in the atmosphere for two centuries or so. Methane? About a decade.

So, unless you're saying that we'll run out of hydroxyl radicals...?

Waragamba Dam is at 74%, can I wash the f**king car now ?

If this f**king continues we're all gonna need to start drinking more water and taking longer showers.

Gronk, you'll need to start taking showers.

Last year you said house prices going up was a HOAX and driven by media bullshit.
In the Blue mountains things have barely moved. Sydney prices have jumped 100k in 4mths.

Byron has had over 400mm so far this month making it the wettest February in 13 years, and its only the 14th day of the month.

At least all the ferals have headed back to their hobbit holes, there's not one to be seen.

Katoomba has had more. Over 550mm.
What is Mullimibimby like these days?

Why should a lady have to shave?
I find women with hairy legs quite attractive. Real free spirits and don't care what others think. Very sexy

I believe the phrase you're looking for is deniers, not skeptics

The fact that skepticism is for some reason used as a negative phrase says all you need to know about why climate science as a field is a stagnant joke

It's an ex-tropical cyclone off Sydney. It's no longer a cyclone at this latitude but a low pressure system. It happens often.

@Noise robbed this sub-tropical storm Uesi of its cyclone status merely because it was no longer located in the tropics.

Won't somebody think of the cyclones !

Lol

Orrrrr.... It's not a cyclone any more and Noise is literally saying it how it is?


Ex-tropical Cyclone Uesi passes straight over Lord Howe Island, damaging buildings and ripping down trees

Note that it's an Ex-tropical cyclone. Unless the ABC are also robbing it of status or whatever.

Ex cyclones in the Tasman sea are far from uncommon.

FFS the PC brigade are picking on cyclones now.
