This is what the globe does. Back in the old days before man the globe froze so bad most all life died out. But that was before it had cooled once before from heat that was so intense that no life could live here. So the globe is just adjusting again, we will likely die out due to the heat and rise of water, but who says we are to be any different from any life form before or after. We could die out and of course the globe will then again adjust, and a new species who can tolerate the globes conditionswill appear. But next time with some luck the globe will be populated with a species that is nothing like us humans, the globe would be far better off, but if one of our DNA stain did regroup and come back, the globe would simply shake us off again. In globe time we have only been here a nano second, a blink of an eye, so to the globe ( not our globe as it is it's own life force), we are just along for the ride. Picture yourself in a car that has it's own brains, when it decides to dump you out it will, and you have nothing to say about it. All the pulling at the gears shift and pulling at the keys and smashing the windows won't stop that car, it can cover for everything you can throw at it, so get used to it, you are along for the ride and one day your ancestors will be dumped out on the global highway and run down, to be no more.
So rant and rave all you like but you are in the car , so sit down hold and shut up!:+)

A one million square kilometer piece of permafrost in Western Siberia that has been frozen since the last ice age is now thawing at an alarming rate. This area of peat bog now being exposed is estimated to contain 70 billion tons of methane gas, or a quarter of all the methane stored in the ground worldwide. Methane is a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide and it being released into the atmosphere could have serious deleterious effects. Scientists think we have crossed the "tipping point" - a fine line where a slight rise in the earth's temperature causes a serious change in an ecosystem which will itself trigger greatly increased global warming.
Studies show that Western Siberia is now 5.5 degrees warmer than it was 40 years ago and is the fastest warming place on the planet. Scientists figure the methane released over the next 100 years will double the amount of methane in the atmosphere, leading to a 10 to 25% increase in global warming. Dr. Sergi Kirpotin has stated that it is an "ecological landslide that is probably irreversible."
