What's changed, she thinks, may be that warmer water pouring into the sea from Siberia's north-flowing rivers have raised the sea-bottom temperature to the point where the methane, much of it stored under pressure in the form of methane hydrates, can begin to break free. Unlike the permafrost on land, says Shakhova, soil under the sea floor is always hovering at close to the melting point because of its proximity to unfrozen seawater. Anthropogenic (that is, human-caused) warming may be the last straw...
Higher taxes are coming soon, however - and they will hurt. By some estimates, the tax burden on Americans could double before the end of this decade. The only question is: What form will these new taxes take...

"The clouds are changing every second and form a very dramatic stage set. If I were to say anything, it's the greatest plus to the resort." The said resort is Ritz-Carlton's Phulay Bay - the first of a new type of supersecluded, ultra-luxurious bolt-holes that the chain calls "reserves." It is one that Bunnag designed, and he was clearly preoccupied with rather more than the color...
