More Global Warming Nonsense

It smells like mammoth dung," he says.

This is more than just another symptom of global warming.

For millennia, layers of animal waste and other organic matter left behind by the creatures that used to roam the Arctic tundra have been sealed inside the frozen permafrost. Now climate change is thawing the permafrost and lifting this prehistoric ooze from suspended animation.

But Zimov, a scientist who for almost 30 years has studied climate change in Russia's Arctic, believes that as this organic matter becomes exposed to the air it will accelerate global warming faster than even some of the most pessimistic forecasts.

"This will lead to a type of global warming which will be impossible to stop," he said.

Wow. Who honestly believes the earth is so fragile that it cannot withstand exposure to mammoth dung? Step back for a minute and consider the immplications of this theory.

Presumably dinosaurs defacated too. I think it is fair to assume that the piles were much larger. Yet global warming didn't take them out.
