Sorry we have it on good authority, these poplar ice caps already melted 20+ years ago.

#3 Methane hydrate? Also called methane clathrate. If it all suddenly melted, it'd turn Earth into a Venus hellscape!

#4 It cracks me up when they find megafauna and other things from melting permafrost and go "Look! Proof of Global Warming!!!"

Um... if it was stuck in the permafrost it means that the permafrost was forming at the time and wasn't there before so it isn't like it has never NOT been there.

Idiots

#6 To defrost the methane clathrate would require the oceans of the planet to warm ...how many degrees? Sorry, Charlie, try something slightly plausible!
