Default Re: Global warming 'could stop NATURALLY within ten years,' say scientists

From what I saw the other night on the Discovery Channel. A few scientist went into Alaska and the north pole area and found very disturbing news in the ice melts and the bogs and lakes with methane gas bubbling up into the air. They went to about 4 or 5 locations in 3 or 4 person teams in different fields of study, regrouped and set out again. The study is new and will be out in about 6 months or more. But they also said much more needs to be studied.
One results of the study was polar bears are going to go like the Dino's in the past.
Another was each glacier was receding much faster that first thought. They had all the pixes from earlier studies and made more from the very same spots.

One ice sheet had receded about a mile or more. The locals they spoke with added much info to the study. And the ice melt run off into the ocean was like water falls at two sites very large water falls. This fresh water will by itself change ocean currents and will result in weather patterns changes.

My thought was why hasn't any water bottling company gone there to get this fresh water to bottle and help slow the amount going into the ocean

They went down into a water hole from melt to the very bottom of a glacier and saw the melt moving the entire ice sheet along, the first time this has been seen and taped. But this is just one study. But I believe we are in for a wild weather ride because of it. Just IMHO!
