Panel on climate change

A meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was held this past week and two things jumped out at me. First they said the new date for disaster is 2100 which means they will not be around if things don’t turn out as bad as they say. This is different from other predictions such as Al Gore saying the Arctic Ice Cap will have melted by 2013. The second thing is that they say we must get rid of fossil fuels but without saying what they should be replaced with and the assumption is wind and solar. Nowhere in the report do they talk about methane hydrate. Mining methane hydrate provides an almost unlimited supply of natural gas and the process stores CO2 under the ocean floor meaning no more global warming. The absence of even a discussion on this valuable fuel source indicates a close mind on the issue and causes a loss of credibility in the rest of the report.
