Global Warming Is Blamed for Everything, Including This

LowDown · Jul 16, 2014

A giant crater appeared in Yamal in Russian Siberia.

The word "yamal" is roughly translated "end of the world" meaning the middle of nowhere, a sparcely inhabited peninsula sticking up toward the Arctic Sea.

In any case, the most obvious probable cause of the sudden appearance of a crater such as this would be a meteor strike. But no, it has to somehow be global warming, postulating some never before seen natural explosion involving methane and salt water. This is before anyone has been able to go on site and look at the thing close up.

Temperatures in Yamal have been increasingly slowly since 1960, but it's nothing out of the ordinary and not as high as it was in the 1930s. Link

Here is a partial list of the things blamed on global warming.

Thinking this through, gas is being pumped out of the ground, relieving pressure. Surface sinks into the newly formed cave. These are called sinkholes.

However, of the two official explanations, extraterrestrial beings and global whichever,
I would go with the little green men.

Why is this being termed a crater when it looks far more like a sink-hole?

Neat hole.

I mean really. Come-on, there is no ejecta.

Because there is ejecta.

What is the term for the mounds of earth around the outside of the hole?

Thank you. Edited.
Still looks more like a sink hole than a crater.

And regarding that ejecta, that would be sad display for any meteor causing such a hole.
So again; It looks far more link a sink hole that burped.

They surmise it was a hot gas eruption close to the surface, which I agree.

Yes. It burped.

The earth farted from a stinkhole. :lol:

There you have it folks. Humor leads to this type of sinkhole having its own classification.

Craters or sink holes created by explosions, however, don't seem to create a lot of debris above the surface. Being formerly from Kansas, we watched the situation around Hutchinson KS with great interest as there was fear the whole town might blow up:

Craters caused from meteor strikes or other external forces do produce the debris around the rim.

And neither had a dang thing to do with global warming.

Hasn't the term 'global warming' now become directly interchangeable with the word 'capitalism' ?

Oil pockets are not usually that close to the surface. Sink holes like that, when man made, are usually caused by mining. And a collapse wouldn't leave the ridges around the whole like that.

In contrast, here is a huge sinkhole that opened in Guatemala:

It definitely was a collapse. This hole in Yamal looks like it expanded outward just enough to compromise the integrity of the earth (and pile some dirt around the edges) and then collapsed into the hole. But then that could also simply be from an existing hill over the sink hole too.

As it turns out, the crater is probably due to pingo ice, which is a common phenomenon in Yamal. A pocket of ice forms under the tundra that is pushed up and then melts in the summer to create a hole. If you go to Google Earth and look up Yamal you'll see these round holes of various sizes covering the land (see picture below). Most are filled with water but some are not. Some have the "ejecta" around them and others don't.

Field of view ~5 miles across.

I'm some guy on the internet, I know what caused that crater better than those scientists
