Re: The methane time bomb

I heard that the methane produced from cows, pigs and sheep "emissions" is the largest source of methane!

Re: The methane time bomb

Although it has always been a concern, it was never too much of one. After coming here and reading this one I have to say that if they seem to be the reason for recent increases of global temperatures, what can we do (if anything) to stop it. If it is caused by the loss of sea ice and we continually get warmer temperatures, then where is that going to put us and how soon will things start to happen.

Don't yall have better things to do than sitting around and discussing whether the permafrost is farting or not? Jesus, earn you salary.

Re: The methane time bomb

I wonder do we really need enemies for space or aliens to kill us. Our fellow mates will do all the works to destroy us. Human activities lead to such problems and the worst affected is again "we". This news is a shocking revealment. Am not sure whether we can live safely in this mother earth any more. Recently UK has signed a pact to cut down the emissions by 80%. All the countries must follow its foot steps.

Re: The methane time bomb

Okay, lets not panic here. Methane burns right? Well don't light any matches but let us put our heads together with a combined effort of the sciences to be able to deal with this threat and nuetralize it. Would it alarm anyone one to know that in the age of the dinosaurs the oxygen levels were at about 32 % and today we are at about 21%? Well life has come along pretty good in that million years or so since those big guys were roaming the topography. We can beat this thing but it will take brain power and not brawn. Keep the faith my friends. Great post here.
