Hi, Paul Quinn!

I only want to repeat, we should understand - only millions of years of heavy
frost could make permafrost to be as deep as it is in Eastern Siberia. There
was a very long time when a constant heavy frost, around the year, was natural
for Eastern Siberia. Now the natural climate of the area had changed. And
inevitably, all the permafrost of Eastern Siberia MUST melt in future with
human help or without. Because it is unnatural in the present state of things.

IMHO, it is exaggeration to say that all permafrost in Siberia consists of
frozen organic. Only a few meters in the worst case.

 AK>> Since then the ocean waters have been becoming warmer and warmer.

 PQ> In a way it's comforting to see those figures. This town's height

After all people can build floating cities. ;-)

Bye, Paul!
