tabsey says:

So, do we clean up the planet before we fight extinction, or let any survivors do it. (The last round of global warming, 90000 years ago, had 2000 human survivors. Food shortage will ensure that history repeats.)

increase in methane levels -the first increase in ten years. What
baffles the team is that this data contradicts theories stating humans
are the primary source of increase in greenhouse gas. It takes about
one full year for gases generated in the highly industrial northern
hemisphere to cycle through and reach the southern hemisphere. Since
all worldwide levels rose simultaneously throughout the same year,
however, it is probable that this may be part of a natural cycle - and
not the direct result of man's contributions.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/08/mit-team-says-global-warming-part-of-earths-natural-cycle.html">state that this imbalance has resulted in several
million metric tons of additional methane in the atmosphere. Methane is
produced by wetlands, rice paddies, cattle, and the gas and coal
industries, and is destroyed by reaction with the hydroxyl free radical
(OH), often referred to as the atmosphere's "cleanser."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/512F181F-B185-4554-A386-B66DC022CFFC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
