new problem to global warming

Here's a shocking news of global proportion. I know most of you doesn't care that much about global warming, but I'm sure most of you care about the planet. Here's one news that could be a problem very soon to the Earth.

Somewhere in Siberia, Russia, there's a problem from 10,000 years ago that seeping up through kilometers of tundra and ice. A gas, much more lethal than carbon dioxide are bubbling up on the Siberia. Methane gas, 23 times more lethal than carbon dioxide are being seen seeping through their 10,000 years old prison. There are also an estimated 1.5 trillions tons of carbon gas under the ice, which is almost equal to all the rain forest in the world today.

The evidences of global warming are clear, glacier falling back, erratic weather, dying coral reef, increasing temperature around the world, but this might be the one that could change it all for the worse. The release of all this methane gas, could be the hump on global warming where we can't go back anymore.

Since this discovery is so new, there are many variables and calculations that must be made before conclusion of how worse this has become. Scientist are still debating whether the problem can still be fix or slow down, or are we too late.

I'm hoping we live long enough to see that it never happen.
