- shammyrocked, on 10/10/2007, -0/+45Update: New Jersey will be unaffected.
- whataboutdave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+46Oh, the lengths he goes to all in the name of fooling us...
- HeL1ves1nYou, on 10/10/2007, -1/+38There's going to be fields of *****... far as the eye can see...
I'm super cereal - LeeNyanko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+36What ISN'T causing global warming?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35Great, now we're not only in our own crap, but in others' too.
- speezer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37Holy Sh*t?
- fearlessfx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32"Sergei Zimov bends down, picks up a handful of treacly mud and holds it up to his nose. It smells like a cow pat, but he knows better.
"It smells like mammoth dung," he says. "

- ryodoan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13also 93% of statistics are made up on the spot!
- OneLess, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I think you mean "Holy *****".
- BigglesPiP, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Nah, plants will get to it 1st.
Notice how green it is so shortly after the permafrost is gone? - KLowD9x, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10The energy used to treat cancer, per person, emits more CO2 than 42 cars during rush hour in Los Angeles per day.
- ff1959, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Soon to be made into a movie approaching the quality of "The Core", undoubtedly starring Nicolas Cage and the girl who played the female lead in "The Mummy" series.
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Warmer temperatures + Melting Glaciers + Evaporation permafrost will eventually cause the cycle to renew and an ice age to begin. It's kind of fascinating to think about how earth keeps itself in check and the most seemingly unimportant things play a role.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15god will save us, ***** al gore and his worldy warming
- zachshmack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Export it as fancy fertilizer. Plant some trees.
- Mikekuul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Anything that FOX claims.
- Enisity, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6and its thousands of years old ....just great...i bet it smells pleasant.....
- sissipher, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7So, what this means is that these areas are going to become the new Breadbasket in 500 years due to the natural fertalizer!
- Rizin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7....Al Gore is God trying to save us!
- guest2117, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11uh oh
- void, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6scratch & sniff history books
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6EXCELSIOR!!!!!!!
- pixmaker2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6how do they know what mammoth ***** smells like. its not like he was there when they crapped it out
- Mikekuul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5No, Mammoth.
- felman87, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Ah *****!
- supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5He's an idiot. Even the church believes in Evolution and most scientific discoveries. His church is probably on TV, it clearly isn't one of the top 20 ***** religions.
- FortyCaliber, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4answersingenesis.com made me madsad
- maverex, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7"U.S. government statistics show mankind emits about 7 billion tonnes of carbon a year."
"Permafrost areas hold 500 billion tonnes of carbon."
Umm.. yeah, can you say were *****... in less than like 20 years!? - lime148, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4spaghetti-os
- DipshitDave, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9Oh my ***** god. We're all going to die because those mammoths needed to *****!! We can't waste time and money researching ways to make our vehicles and factories cleaner! We have a more urgent mission now! We need to build a time machine!! And a giant pooper scooper!! Pick up all the mammoth poo, and bury it somewhere in the midwest! (It smells like cow ***** here anyway, so nobody will care)
- angryredplanet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4...for the 17th time.
- Dagarik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Mmmm prehistoric ooze.
- dotorg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Because CO2 is essentially never the limiting factor in plant growth.
To the original posters' point, its very green because the ground is super fertilized... but the plant growth has nearly immeasurably little impact on the release of carbon via CO2 and methane as the ground thaws. - Wacer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3True, but then the ***** starts decaying, Carbon will equal CO2.
- MadScientist420, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Ra Ro Raggy
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+350% of America says otherwise.
- Elwood19k20, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Well, just think of the biological hazard this could be by releasing bacteria and viruses that have been frozen in that ice for thousands of years. This could even turn into a plague if something like that happened.
- No1nose, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I've always wondered why plants won't just start to take over if there is excessive CO2 in the air? Maybe there isn't enough water, or something.
- mdollarsign, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Thanks.
I'll add this to the list of things that I have been told to be afraid of..... - DeFex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3so lets get this right. all the animals took a ***** at once and suddenly died. there was no time for any of the ***** to break down. it just froze over night?
- DrywallThief, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3He has to be kidding. No one is stupid enough to actually believe that a worldwide flood would somehow take piles of mammoth ***** up north.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Alimentary, dear Watson.
- radiofreebc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I worked with a scientist in the Arctic back in 2005, and he was talking about this. He was surprised it never got mainstream attention, but I guess it just takes us a while! Yeah...we've got some problems. I don't know what side of the debate you're all on, but being environmentally friendly can't hurt. Let's do our part, and act like responsible inhabitants of this planet.
- ratsg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2that, and Super Aids.
- spancho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It's true that evolution is still a theory, kind of like the theory of gravity and quantum theory.
- supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -7/+9The Catholic Church has never embraced biblical literalism. That may be why, unlike evangelical Christian faiths, Catholics have never made creationism a religious tenet. The church has produced letters, studies, encyclicals, and speeches in the last 100 years that praise the scientific research behind the concept of evolution. But it has never endorsed "belief" in evolution by including it in the Catholic Catechism, the church's official compendium of teachings and beliefs, but that does not mean Catholics do not belive in it. Evolution is still a "theory" by scientific standards, and not a proven fact, and I'm sure once it is, it will be included in Catholic catechism.
All you people who bring up the age of the planet or universe as a "***** you God, and all who believe in you are stupid" are so ignorant it isn't funny. You make up this "fact" that Catholics and such dont believe the world is billions of years old and use it as your argument against the existence of a creator or as the original Bible called THEM, the beings called the Elohym, or El for short.
Though I am not a practicing catholic and I am well read in science, I still do believe that there are superior beings in this multiverse than our very young human race, and that they may have visited and perhaps guided and nurtured our tiny little ***** of a civilization over the centuries. If you read the bible with a scientific mind you just may find that it reads more like a science fiction novel than it does a fairy tale. You'd be surprised. I have read sections of the Koran and Torah, and they too read more like sci-fi than fairy tale.
So before you raise your hand and PROVE your ignorance, why don't you look into what you are saying and remain silent. - tarzidil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Particle pollution isn’t causing global warming, it is cooling the Earth by blocking direct sunlight. This phenomenon is known as global dimming. It has been estimated that global dimming has slowed the effects of global warming by up to 75%. We have the privilege of living at the end of a climatic golden age and I see a genetic bottleneck in our species’ future.
