These photos of Alberta methane bubbles are beautiful but also quite, quite disturbing [View all]

London's Daily Mail newspaper ran a feature with multiple shots showing bubbles of the highly greenhouse-causing gas methane trapped in the ices of Albertan lakes. But the methane won't be trapped for long, thanks to massive melting and warming. And then consider all the methane currently trapped under Arctic ice further north, that ice melting rapidly, as well. It's nature's big fart in our face; the closest thing on our planet to Saturn's moon Titan and its frozen methane lakes.

These images are a huge wake-up call because they show just how close we are to further catastrophe. Be afraid, but also be active. Share 'em around. Go to:
