Methane Bomb Squad Part 3: Dr. Carolyn Ruppel on Siberian Shelves
October 16, 2014
Here’s another except from my conversation with Dr. Carolyn Ruppel, Chair of the US Geological Survey’s project on gas hydrates – ie, the so-called “Methane Bomb” issue.
I will be posting more interviews on this issue in coming days.

Keep it coming. So far, it appears that the only thing we can be scientifically certain of is the uncertainty surrounding the methane “bomb”. Thinking intuitively leads in a different direction. One thing that IS certain is that we should forget about going to Mars and devote those resources to exploring the oceans.

Peter, none of your videos are displaying for me any more. Not even a box I can click on to get to it. Did you change something, like sourcing from Fakebook?
Also, you wrote “except” when you meant “excerpt”.

I have no idea why I’m not seeing the usual box. A number of Google-related things have gone wonky lately.

Wouldn’t you know, the blog software converted the raw URL into something that’s also invisible to me.

The issue turned out to be Google Disconnect. Now I know to turn it off if I want to watch videos.
