Global Climate Change

Gentlemen --

We need to be realistic on the subject of Global Climate Change

There are several points of clarification I would like to make to your presentation, which, I must say, is generally accurate and up to date. The elements of sudden climate change are generally misrepresented in the current popular literature. This is NOT a man-made condition. The real problem is deep sea methane bubbling up from continental shelves all around the globe.

First consideration is the source of Methane. Anything that has grown, from yard clippings to a decaying body, produces methane as it decomposes. Methane from permafrost is a decay product. Methane from the deep ocean (methane hydrate) is totally different. Methane from oil wells is yet a different composition. These must be recognized as such and understood as to their manner of existence, production, and/or release.

Deep sea Methane appears to be the waste product of a bacterial process, and therefore, is a renewable resource! It is a relative clean product of our environment and it has recently been produced in commercial quantities by Japanese scientists in Canada.

Oil well Methane is a very dirty gas -- it is methane with huge amounts of sulfur and other noxious gases mixed with it.

The Methane " bubbling up from Undersea Permafrost" is a decay product.

Next -- Drastic Global Climate Change has taken place at least five different times during the last 400,000 years. Our present cycle is the only one during which man has been a factor.

Methane gas which bubbles up continuously from the deep ocean sources (which in turn disassociates into CO2) is the true source of the "Greenhouse Gas" that has operated in the previous five interglacial cycles -- all of which have been extinction cycles.

These are NOT man made effects, and it IS TOO LATE to change our present cycle, We can only learn to adapt!
