Nature Is To Be Blamed For Global Warming,

according to Natalia Shakhova, a scientist at the University of Fairbanks, Alaska, methane, is bubbling out of the frozen Arctic much faster than expected and could stoke global warming, concerns about global warming have centered on rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but methane can be 30 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, but on the other side of the coin, Martin Heimann from the Max Planck Institute said it was good to document these emissions but that there is no proof they are increasing, 'These leaks could have been occurring all the time since the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago,' he added that the release of eight million tonnes of methane a year was "negligible" compared to global emissions of about 440 million tonnes, about 60 percent of methane now comes from human activities such as landfills, cattle rearing or rice paddies, natural sources such as wetlands make up the rest, along with poorly understood sources such as the oceans, wildfires or termites, termites? where are the ant eaters when you need them? yet again another science scare story to get the gullible to pay for the 'lets outlaw methane lobby.'
