Gateway to the underworld: Permafrost ‘megaslump’ in Siberia is expanding • FRANCE 24 English

share



According to a study published in the Journal of Geomorphology, global warming is the cause of the enlargement of the Batagaika crater in Siberia. Also known as the “gate to hell”, this crater releases thousands of tonnes of CO2 each year and is expanding at record speed. FRANCE 24’s Julia Sieger tells us more.

  1. It looks like a sea creature a manta ray perhaps. Surrender your lives to Jesus while there's little time left

  2. I did this we should throw away king tut and all the other mummies and we can take them out or leave them in if we like it

  3. the biggest threat to the world is population we all need to control the population to balance the nature and human interaction with nature.

  4. Mudfossil university

  5. Hell has a lot of gas. It's about to belch burp and fart on the living all at the same time… and…as slow as eternity permits. Og°

  6. The earth has been warm and frozen in cycles at different times. Currently we, all of mankind, have seen the warming over the last 20 – 25 thousand years and are in total freefall panic mode, blaming ourselves and various technologies for heating the earth. However, we are not the drivers of this warming cycle. As a matter of fact human contributions account for less than 5% of the total warming over the last 10K years. The main factor is the sol cycle that has the earth in a closer orbit to the sun as measured over the last 50 – 100K yrs. The ice cores show this, the rock record shows this, but we know better? I'll just ask the volcanoes to stop erupting and then their 40% contribution will be eliminated and we will all freeze on a snowball earth … AGAIN! yea, yea, the sky is falling, again.

  7. This is the beginning of the end of humanity… good luck taking your money with you to the afterlife 😂😂

  8. siberian scientists have warned us more than 10-15 years ago. no1 listens

  9. Global warming is a complete lie. Methane does not cause planet warning. There are gas planets made of methane that are ice.

  10. So, not so called global warming, but fire and deforestation causing heating of the permafrost in specific aresa

  11. The earth is not static. Things change.

  12. How many Underwatervolcanos errupted this year?

  13. OMG people do some research for God's sake!! We were Never promised a perfect climate. The Earth has been through many climate changes. Look it up.
    I

  14. Deforestation. Here in the Philippines, mountain lands are being quarrying or made into subdivisions or condominiums. The floods are now frequent left and right.

  15. Better let the libs in Canada know there going to want to tax that gate to hell

  16. So they shaved off ALL the trees. Idyots.

  17. So it releases CO2, thats excellent! since CO2 is the primary food source for plants. !

  18. I can't wait to have palm trees in Montana

  19. Oh, I get it. It's the Russians. It is always the Russians. Let us not mention the 300 years of coal burning in western Europe.

  20. The only thing I wish for is to listen to what the survivors say about us of this era. I dunno, a 10 thousand years in the future.

  21. 20 years of fracking…. tipped us quicker. Short term Wells left to leak after they stop being viable and loopholes to help the corporations to shadow dodge responsibility.
    Legislation and political pay offs allowed this.
    I truly believe this has and will be what accelerates the feedback loop.

  22. What do u call a baby horse?

  23. It’s the magnetic pole shift! Solar energy discharges from earth and melts ice, starts fires and seeds the clouds for flash floods! Do your research, we are in 12000 year cycle.

  24. We are still in an ice age, known as the Quaternary Ice Age, which began around 2.58 million years ago. An ice age is defined as a period in Earth's history when ice sheets and glaciers are present, particularly at the poles. Currently, we are in an interglacial period (the Holocene), which is a warmer phase between glacial periods, but large ice sheets still exist in Antarctica and Greenland.

  25. Warming and cooling, equals balance, and that should not cost us money.

  26. And we can’t do a damn thing about it!

  27. natural thing. Nothing to do with "global warming". Carbon doesn't heat the atmosphere. You'll soon want global warming as we are gonna dive into a freeze soon.

  28. Sooooo what happen to next 50 years ?

  29. yes BRING THE CO2!!!!! lets go …

  30. fake science spoken of here. Carbon released to the atmosphere is a benefit – not a problem for humans and the earth

  31. GW is not real it’s a planet does what she does.Deforestation is to blame for it all no trees no Co2 filters.

  32. You didnt show it now that looks like it did when I saw this 8yrs ago

  33. A warmer world would greatly help humans and other life on earth. The love of ice and cold makes no sense. If all the ice melted, we would have much greater rainfall and the mega-deserts that cross the world would diminish and maybe disappear. The oceans would not rise. We know this because the oceans have not risen in decades despite the cretins who constantly have "warned" us that they would. Why do the super rich buy coastal properties? Because most of them have greater intelligence than the rest of us.

  34. Interesting.

  35. Fight your parents (in a smart way), know that they are your enemies, but you still need them for your survival. Only ally with those that have acknowledged their role in climate change, but your parents hate you and they are still your enemies no matter what they will tell you (also don't believe cult people that want to separate you from your parents aswell)

  36. Not just methane ..but ancient viruses and bacteria that will be released upon the world!
