Yes, mining offshore methane seems to be a possibility. This will of course add to the greenhouse gases in the air (as solar and fusion wouldn't, or not very much) which will perhaps continue the warming trend. The problem is that if we warm the oceans very much - they're a lot harder to warm than the atmosphere, of course - tt's possible that dissolved gases will come out of suspension, so all the CO2 they've soaked up (and thereby kept atmospheric levels down plus all the dissolved methane. The earth's atmosphere was once mainly methane I believe so there's a lot available. A so-called "methane burp" could mean the end of civilisation. > What does this say about our arguments? > I don't know. > > > http://dels.nas.edu/resources/static-assets/exec-office-other/climate-change-full.pdf > > The political manipulations are fact, but like most people, we can do zero > about it.

However I will take any action I think may help (within reason, and given my parlous finances that isn't very far). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
