What a stinking discovery this turned out to be.

Someone inadvertently causes a spark and there goes the ice cap.

The French fart in the general direction of Artic scientists (before surrendering).

If this is confirmed, we may be past the point of no return on climate change. Arctic methane releases can create a strong positive feedback cycle no matter what humans do from now on.
Civilization can kiss its ass goodbye.

See there's absolutely no reason to be concerned with human activity affecting the climate. It's planet gas we have to worry about.

"This East Siberian slope methane hydrate system has been perturbed . . ."
And it's going to take out its frustrations on the Siberians.

If the Arctic is farting in the general direction of Washington D.C., that should have been expected.
