A Russian research ship in the Arctic has discovered methane bubbles rising from the sea floor which, if you listen to anyone in on the global warming hoax, is certain doom. I believe the scientists quoted in this article call it a “ticking time bomb”. However, the article does go on to mention it’s thought that “huge methane releases may have been responsible for mass extinctions in Earth’s distant past.” Were those historical methane releases from the ocean floor, too? If so, can you explain how temperatures were high enough in the past to thaw the frozen methane beds with a complete lack of anthropogenic sources?

A social and fiscal conservative, I scour the news for information that disputes the current man-made global warming indoctrination that takes place around the world. I take a rather sarcastic approach to reporting on the nonsense being spewed by the talking heads in the media and the governments around the world.

Uh, your error is immediately obvious. There is nothing magical about human sources of GHGs. The Siberian Traps were the source of GHGs for the PT extinction event. Your stance is exactly the same as, “Since people have died before guns were invented, gunshot wounds can’t kill.”

Yes. It’s in Flickr Creative Commons. I’m following the licensing terms. Might want to go review that.
