The recent claim by scientists of finding hundreds of plumes of methane gas, some 1,000 meters in diameter, bubbling up through tundra in the Arctic of Russia in general and Siberia in particular, would have everyone believe it is happening because of melting polar ice due to Global Warming/Climate Change. As usual and as always, the deception is also found here, just the same as with all of the press releases associated with so-called scientific discoveries which are strictly designed to promote GW/CC.
Supposedly, there is all this methane being released into the atmosphere because the Polar ice sheet has retreated and thinned to the point that methane gas is escaping through the tundra in areas where normally it would be covered by a thick layer of ice. What they deliberately did not tell the world was they monitored this phenomena in an area of the world where this high level of methane should have been expected. This area of the world is a region very active with volcanoes, both on the mainland and undersea. Thus, to measure methane levels in an area where one would expect very high levels of the gas to be present was purely a deliberate attempt to frighten people into believing in the GW/CC myth.
