Alaska is melting and it's likely to accelerate global heating


***This article highlights the problem of permafrost melting and releasing methane. Per other articles I have read, this methane is not captured in many global warming models***



The state has just had its warmest spring on record, causing permafrost to thaw and dramatically reshaping some areas.

Seven hours (including breaks) . . . Gotta believe the committee learned something interesting

Tillerson was before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I had heard about this earlier today, but only just saw how long he was there a few minutes ago. He must have had quite a bit to say.
