Climate scientist drops the F-bomb after startling Arctic discovery

7. No you didn't, but your comments left me with that impression.

... "hardly news" Okay, it seems contradictory (to me at least) to say that when you want more people to know. Isn't the point that people really need to hear this stuff? And I think it is very relevant to today which very much makes it news.

The issue of methane as a greenhouse gas is not really common knowledge. And its potential level of danger to our ecosystem, from the reports I've heard, are alarming. Sadly, the real knuckleheads who need to hear this stuff have financial ties to the oil and gas industry or other industries that recklessly pollute our world. And just hearing about it is only the first step. So repeat, repeat, repeat as often as necessary. Put it into different words and different contexts. If the scientists are correct (and why should anyone second guess them except out of self-interest), this should be life-changing information.

I'll get off my soap box now. It's clear you care too and there was a misunderstanding of meaning in the words chosen.
