| 593482 | 2007-09-21 14:19:00 | Our present climate change is not caused by man its just a natural cycle. Bit like the holocaust which didnt happen tedheath Will the mods please ban this Nazi bile-spewer. Mart |

| 593484 | 2007-09-21 21:24:00 | Climate change has always happened. Mars has warmed too lately. That's conveniently forgotten, because its not news then. Disasters make great news, not to mention the money to made from all this excitement........... |

Disasters make great news, not to mention the money to made from all this excitement........... Agreed. And as to the population explosion as mentioned earlier, Bush will make sure this never happens. Look at all the countries he has lined up for takeover. World domination. :annoyed: |

The study - led by Richard Pancost and colleagues at the University of Bristol - showed carbon isotope values of hopanoids (compounds made by bacteria) suddenly decreased in a manner that the scientists said can only be explained by switching to a diet of methane. That, they said, suggests methane emissions must have increased at that time. The team that included scientists from the University of London and other institutions analyzed the geochemical composition of sediments taken from the Cobham Lignite wetland in southeast England. "Fifty-five million years ago, a massive release of carbon into the atmosphere caused significant global warming," said Pancost. "It is likely that this warming and associated climate change caused a change in environmental conditions that brought about increased methane emissions. This in turn, may reflect an increase in methane production and subsequent release from the terrestrial biosphere." The research is detailed in the current issue of the journal Nature. {From a subcription to Gizmorama (gophercentral.com)} |
