Beautiful, isn’t it? It’s an arctic lake, with methane boiling up out of the thawing permafrost.
It’s so scenic and pretty, and a harbinger of our greenhouse future.

There are videos of people setting fire to the surface of the lake.

So, already too late? We’ve let the frozen blob monster loose and are doomed?
@3, pretty much on the mark. Methane is a much more efficient greenhouse gas.
So, can we start fighting the problem with nuclear power yet?
@5, No, no—with nuclear BOMBS silly.
Think of that nice cool nuclear winter……
Nuclear winter is exaggerated. They used to think it would happen easily. Carl Sagan was one of the leading scientific experts on this. The same models predicted substantial effects when Sadam lit on fire the oil fields of Kuwait. The real cooling effects were far less than what was predicted, and even Carl Sagan admitted that his models were wrong.
