Are you ready to freeze? According to recent study of GHG (green house gases) which has confirmed that methane comes from decomposing as well as live vegetation and has 3 times as much capability to trap energy, we can clearly see spikes over a 650Million year frame from looking at ice samples from the arctic and analyzing air bubbles. We know that as a precurser to ice-ages is a dramatic increases of methane and co2, which seem to naturally occur without our help. In looking at the graph, with the sharpest rise in GHG gasses come the sharpest decline in tempurature. So with the GHG levels nearly triple of anything known to man, do you think it is time to get a parka? The earth seems to have a natural resporitory system, I think we gave it asthma.

Love the athsma analagy! :)
This is interesting. There is a model out there of one possible effect of global warming that seems to fit what you said. If the temperature rises enough to melt enough polar ice, rises in sea levels could cause the gulf Stream to shift course into the Gulf of Mexico--and never reach the North Atlantic. The models suggest we'd be in the ironic position of having a warmer plantet overall--but with localized cooling in the North atlantic that would trigger another ice age!
BTW--there are massive permafrost beds--especially in Siberia--that contane huge amounts of methane--and they are beginning to melt due to the global warming. The good news is that methane breaks down fairly quickly--about 10 years.

No, I'm not ready to freeze, so I'm going after the company I work for, I'm changing the way I live my life, manage my home and I'm not keeping this to myself. Watch "An Inconvenient Truth" and see if you still feel global warming isn't real...

YES! We really need to consider what we are doing to the earth. Watch "An Inconvenient Truth".
