I am truly sick by what I see happening in the United States and even here in Canada right now... In spite of all the evidence that shows clearly that the entire man caused "Global Warming" scare is nothing but a fraud and psychological fear mongering to convince people that we must accept new carbon taxation to "save the world from ourselves", we indeed have our governments wanting to impose new "carbon taxes" and "carbon credits" on their citizens! I am beginning to wonder if in spite of my efforts in exposing this fraud, that too many people are just too gullible!I came across this very interesting article actually a few weeks back but I figure this is the perfect time, considering how governments and media are again pushing the fraud Global Warming agenda, to bring it to everyone's attention..... This article, from "The Canadian" (original link here) actually came out some 7 YEARS AGO, and claimed at that time that some 4.5 BILLION people would be dead by 2012 due to Global Warming related causes! I first want to show that article right here for everyone to see for themselves as a prime example of the false fear mongering promoted by the Global Warming scam artists, and I do have, as always, my usual thoughts and comments to follow:Over 4.5 Billion people could die from Global Warming-related causes by 2012Hydrate hypothesis illuminates growing climate change alarmCompiled by John Stokes A recent scientific theory called the "hydrate hypothesis" says that historical global warming cycles have been caused by a feedback loop, where melting permafrost methane clathrates (also known as "hydrates") spur local global warming, leading to further melting of clathrates and bacterial growth. In other words, like western Siberia, the 400 billion tons of methane in permafrost hydrate will gradually melt, and the released methane will speed the melting. The effect of even a couple of billion tons of methane being emitted into the atmosphere each year would be catastrophic. The "hydrate hypothesis" (if validated) spells the rapid onset of runaway catastrophic global warming. In fact, you should remember this moment when you learned about this feedback loop-it is an existencial turning point in your life. By the way, the "hydrate hypothesis" is a weeks old scientific theory, and is only now being discussed by global warming scientists. I suggest you Google the term. Now that most scientists agree human activity is causing the Earth to warm, the central debate has shifted to when we will pass the tipping point and be helpless to stop the runaway Global Warming.There are enormous quantities of methane trapped in permafrost and under the oceans in ice-like structures called clathrates. The methane in Arctic permafrost clathrates is estimated at 400 billion tons.Methane is more than 20 times as strong a greenhouse gas as CO2, and the atmosphere currently contains about 3.5 billion tons of the gas.The highest temperature increase from global warming is occurring in the arctic regions-an area rich in these unstable clathrates. Simulations from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) show that over half the permafrost will thaw by 2050, and as much as 90 percent by 2100. Peat deposits may be a comparable methane source to melting permafrost. When peat that has been frozen for thousands of years thaws, it still contains viable populations of bacteria that begin to convert the peat into methane and CO2. Western Siberia is heating up faster than anywhere else in the world, having experienced a rise of some 3C in the past 40 years. The west Siberian peat bog could hold some 70 billion tonnes of methane. Local atmospheric levels of methane on the Siberian shelf are now 25 times higher than global concentrations.By the way, warmer temperatures and longer growing seasons have caused microbial activity to increase dramatically in the soil around the world. This, in turn, means that much of the carbon long stored in the soil is now being released into the atmosphere. Releases of methane from melting oceanic clathrates have caused severe environmental impacts in the past. The methane in oceanic clathrates has been estimated at 10,000 billion tons. 55 million years ago a global warming chain reaction (probably started by volcanic activity) melted oceanic clathrates. It was one of the most rapid and extreme global warming events in geologic history.Humans appear to be capable of emitting CO2 in quantities comparable to the volcanic activity that started these chain reactions. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, burning fossil fuels releases more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes. Methane in the atmosphere does not remain long, persisting for about 10 years before being oxidized to CO2 (a greenhouse gas that lasts for hundreds of thousands of years). Chronic methane releases oxidizing into CO2 contribute as much to warming as does the transient methane concentrations. To summarize, human activity is causing the Earth to warm. Bacteria converts carbon in the soil into greenhouse gasses, and enormous quantities are trapped in unstable clathrates. As the earth continues to warm, permafrost clathrates will thaw; peat and soil microbial activity will dramatically increase; and, finally, vast oceanic clathrates will melt. This global warming chain reaction has happened in the past. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 rose by a record amount over the past year. It is the third successive year in which they have increased sharply. Scientists are at a loss to explain why the rapid rise has taken place, but fear the trend could be the first sign of runaway global warming. Runaway Global Warming promises to literally burn-up agricultural areas into dust worldwide by 2012, causing global famine, anarchy, diseases, and war on a global scale as military powers including the U.S., Russia, and China, fight for control of the Earth's remaining resources. Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012, as planet Earth accelarates into a greed-driven horrific catastrophe.

Make comments about this article in The Canadian Blog.NTS Notes: Well, readers, it is now 2014, some two years since "4.5 billion people" were to have died from "Global Warming related" causes, and we are all still here....The only people who may have died from "climate change" have been those who have FROZEN to death due to the intense cold we have experienced over the last few winters....I was wanting to bring this article actually forward about a month ago, due to some interesting articles that came out from elsewhere in the alternative media that claimed that we were indeed heading to certain death due to rapid release of methane gas from methane hydrate stored frozen in permafrost...... I stated in one of my Sunday rants shortly after reading those reports that permafrost has NOT been melting at all, and in fact has been increasing due to falling temperatures all over the Arctic! It will therefore be a long time before this planet experiences this "methane release"....Lets face it... We have seen all of this fear mongering constantly.... We have had the reports of this methane release due to global warming, as well as reports of Polar Bears dying due to melting ice (proven fraud since polar bear populations in Arctic have grown and are at record levels), the Greenland ice shelf melting (in fact it has grown to near record levels), super high temperatures in the Arctic (another lie), melting ice caps at both the north and south poles ( record ice at the south pole, near record at the north pole), etc, etc......The fact is again that this planet's entire climate derives from that big yellow ball in the sky... And the real problem is right now Sol is having a quiet period with diminished solar radiation output... We will indeed be seeing a period of natural global cooling due to this planet receiving less solar radiation and definitely not the "Global Warming" as the con men behind the charade continue to promote...More to comeNTS
