There was more even in that issue of the Independent which is, perhaps,

""The concentration of atmospheric methane increased unto three times

the Arctic to 1.9ppm. That's a huge increase, between two and three
times, and this has never happened in the history of the planet," she

That reads like cock.

well its impossible to refute really..who KNOWS what the methane level
was when dinosaur fart was the prime pollutant.

You can track methane in ice cores up to a point, but that doesn't go
back all that far..the rest is down to constructing a rather shaky
edifice based on rather too many assumptions to be sure of anything.

But then AGW itself is just such a shaky edifice.

It may be correct. But I rather doubt its the whole picture, or anything
like it.

Something is happening here
but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr Gore...
