Tonington,I mean you cant fight mother nature when she wants to have another ice age,a meteor impact could trigger one,and we may have cured some viruses but more keep popping up. As for research grants,I guess you have to take the good with the bad but from some of the stuff I have seen on...

I spent 22 years in the coal mines in BC so I dont have to,it's actually the silica in the rock that causes black lung,not the coal.The silica is jagged and like a barb so once it's in your lung tissue it is there for life. The harder the rock the higher the silica content and most hanging wall...

Depends on what your mining,coal mines have very little slack after processing but gold and other mineral mines are a different story but improvements have been made since the old days before we knew how dangerous mercury and arsenic was. Most mines arent profitable when the strip ratio gets...

You only take the ore or deposit,the rock stays.

You mean like Moe and Kyoto and Moe's ties with China coal?

And up to the present,a new layer is laid down every season.

Uhh,ya,sure.:roll: Think globally,act locally.

I can show you eruptions from mt st. Helens from way before any of us were here and I can find it in allmost any exposed sedimentary rock face,thats history,Stringers in coal seams are from extreme dust storms,some lasting thousands of years,radiation levels show meteor impacts,thats history...

Not in my neck of the rocky mountains,since we shut down all 3 sawmills we let the forests burn instead.(lost creek fire,Alta-Kelowna fire B.C.)

They show the past and right to the present,theres a saying about what happens when you ignore history.

They are also like tree rings leaving a very detailed record of every season for millions of years,meteor impacts,volcanic eruptions,it's all in the layers.

we will have another ice age,then it will get tropical,then another ice age. Sedimentary rocks dont lie(pardon the pun). You cant fight mother nature but the environment is big bussiness today,if you follow most alarmist stuff on global cooling/warming you will allways find theres a dollar...

This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. —Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976 There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production—with serious...

Their major swimmers,An Innuk told me a story last year where they were caught in a fog while fishing and trying to find the next land and a polar started following them knowing they were headed for shore and they were out about 20 clicks.Around Rankin area where the land is just a few meters...

I know the 4 years I was there the ice stayed the same and winter came the end of september like clockwork.I stayed as far away from the boart guys as I could,most were half crazy.:lol: They were drilling gold samples and not ice so thats just one thing they allways had to tell you before flying...

Anywhere theres rotting vegetation or coal there is methane.My municipality has over 3000 miles of tunnels and shafts under it from the coal days and quite a few houses had to be destroyed because of the methane seeping into their house.

Watch for radon daughters.

I agree,the permafrost is very delicate,while it never melted under the grass where I was at if you scraped back the shrubs so that the brown dirt showed it was a matter of minutes before it would start melting.When the inspector told us our blasting shack had to be a mile from camp we dragged...

You mean the Canadian shield?:x I use to curse that stuff,especially the rose granite which the crusher could barely scratch. Not much rotted where I was,you could drink the water allmost anywhere and the only way the tundra got contaminated is if someone walked on it and crap came off their...

Thats pretty cool(the vid) and Ive never seen that before. Where I was not much rotted so I dont think there would have been too much methane build up especially with the water near zero all the time. Could that methane have come from a coal seam under the lake or is it all from rotting...
