Giant plumes of methane bubbling to surface of Arctic Ocean

 

Russian scientists have discovered hundreds of plumes of methane gas, some 1,000 meters in diameter, bubbling to the surface of the Arctic Ocean. Scientists are concerned that as the Arctic Shelf recedes, the unprecedented levels of gas released could greatly accelerate global climate change.

 

Igor Semiletov of the Russian Academy of Sciences tells the UK's Independent that the plumes of methane, a gas 20 times as harmful as carbon dioxide, have shocked scientists who have been studying the region for decades. "Earlier we found torch-like structures like this but they were only tens of meters in diameter," he said. "This is the first time that we've found continuous, powerful and impressive seeping structures, more than 1,000 metres in diameter. It's amazing."

 

Semiletov said that while his research team has discovered more than 100 plumes, they estimate there to be "thousands" over the wider area, extending from the Russian mainland to the East Siberian Arctic Shelf.

Airline Recycling Report

 

Airline passengers create 881 million pounds of waste per year (half of it in-flight), and much of it is not recycled.  In What Goes Up Must Come Down, The Sorry State of Recycling in the Airline Industry, Green America ranks 11 major airlines on their recycling efforts and offers actions the industry can take to improve recycling overall.  We also offer actions that airline passengers can take to improve recycling.

Wonderful video BTW, I'm going to have to try and find the entire thing. It always amazes me how people even still argue about these things.

Of course I know that ;)

...but the poster is a little odd grammatically :)

I'd say in the context of "hitting its mark"... or a target audience, ... meh :)

No, you're totally reading it wrong. It is saying that it is ACTUALLY less effort to wash the spoon, but we act as though tossing a plastic spoon out is "more convenient," when in reality it is not.

I'm confused by the spoon analogy... The poster seems to say (if we assume that 'effort'=carbon footprint) that it's more polluting to clean my spoon???? Makes no sense!

I've added another video to the homepage.
