Looks like they should have moved it to Perth:
 
Perth Be Smokin' !!!
 
Perth is officially in the grip of an October heatwave, with the temperature rising above 32C for the third consecutive day - a new October record.
 
It is also the fourth day the mercury has gone above 30C, beating a record set in October 1969.
 
Yesterday’s minimum of 21.3C was the second warmest October night recorded in Perth since 1991. The maximum temperature of 35.7C recorded about 2pm made yesterday the ninth hottest October day since 1996.

If you think Al Gore has nerve now wait until Obama names him head of the Carbon Footprint Police.
 
Steve's friends will be turning him in for using plastic.
 
We of course, will deny ever knowing him lest we get hauled off to a GW re-education camp .

Let's see, relocation camps in Hawaii? LOL!
 
I remember before I got into the service I remember wildly delusional fantasies of being stationed there.

Nothing in this country surprises me anymore. When an old hack politician can generate $100,000,000 on a scam that convinces people their SUV is making it warmer half way around the globe, anything can happen. Ain't America grand?
 
PS
They better be running those SUVs off the road in Perth to cool it down a bit. Send them all to NE where they are freezing their a___ off.

Yes, America IS Grand. Thanks Much For Noticing.

Man-made global warming is bs. The earth is dynamic; it heats and cools continuously. Was the industrialization of humans responsible for the end of the last ice age?
      It simply an excuse to drain your wallet.

That effectively makes you broke, if you've been honest - playing by the rules: 1) after you pay your taxes, and 2) lose your 401K in the stock market. Oh and do you think social security is going to have $, as our leaders spend us into many trillions of debt?
 
So drain, drain, drain, drain. This certainly doesn't seem like the U.S. that Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin helped spearhead the creation of.
 
Anyone who believes in GW and wants to stop it, please send me some $ then to pay my heating bills.

Nitrogen trifluoride is new but we've been hearing about methane for a while. The landfill near me collects it and burns it to make electricity.
 
I thought one of the methane release scenarios was that burning carbon fuels was warming the climate, resulting in more methane getting dumped into the atmosphere from a warming arctic, making the cycle more vicious?

To answer your question indirectly, indeed there is a (scientific) theory that one of the reasons why planes in the Bermuda Triangle disappear ( aka- not frozen waters but more tropical) is so called massive enough releases of methane, so when the plane fly through it loses altitude very quickly while the instruments show altitude gain.
 
So barring base line release studies in artic/antartic conditions, etc. weather scientists probably are unwilling to link the hypothesis (or make the leap just yet), as to whether you get greater or lesser releases a-z temperatures.
 
They already know and or surmise there is literally inexhaustible methane "locked" and at times (24/7) released by the massive H20 pressures exerted by oceans.
