It’s hot! It’s new! It’s not C02!
Based upon this UK Telegraph article I’d say this will be the new AGW Battle Cry: The Methane Time Bomb, aka the Al Queda of Climate.
Atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas, which is as much as 60 times more potent than carbon dioxide, appear to have risen significantly for the past three years running, scientists say.
To bastardize a quote from an old Martha and the Vandellas song: “It’s like an AGW heatwave burning in my heart….I can’t keep from crying….Tearing me apart!”
More melting of the Arctic ice caused by accelerating warming would release further gases, setting off a “feedback” mechanism which could send climate change spinning out of control.
I have to ask what warming, since it’s been cooling the past 15 years, but they can’t admit it, so now they have to have a conference:
The new figures will be disclosed this morning at the start of a two-day conference on greenhouse gases at the Royal Society in London. Professor Euan Nisbet, of Royal Holloway College of the University of London, and Dr Ed Dlugokencky of the Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder Colorado, will set out their findings in a presentation on “Global atmospheric methane in 2010: budget, changes and dangers
I wonder if those three key words can be decoded? I’ll take a shot at imagining what they might be saying…
Budget = How much money can we steal with this scam?
Answer: This could be big Pachauri!! We can start a Cap and Trade scheme on cow farts!!! We will be rich beyond our wildest dreams!!! Quick..call Al and give him the good news!
Changes = How are we going to get everyone off believing AGW is caused by Co2 and on to believing AGW is caused by methane?
Answer: Experts have long feared that vast amounts of the natural gas trapped in the frozen tundra of the Arctic could be unlocked as the permafrost is melted by rising temperatures, triggering a “methane time bomb” that could cause temperatures to soar.” That’s the ticket! A methane time bomb!! We can even get people excited about the Polar Bears dying and Penguins being replaced by Jellyfish! We can even blame Osama bin Laden and George Bush!
Dangers = What are we going to do if we get caught with our pants down this time?
Answer: We will hedge our bets by noting that…”It may just be a couple of years of high growth, and it may drop back to what it was. But there is a concern that things are beginning to change towards renewed growth from feedbacks.” This time if we screwed up we can use this to weasel out of it!
So get ready for the continuing soap opera called, As the World Burns! starring Al Gore and the AGW Scammer Troupe. Don’t forget to set your DVR, you won’t want to miss one episode!

his own “invention”…the internet??…..LOL!!
