California is willing to delude themselves into thinking they can change the weather at great cost, which is a global issue, yet they can't stop a middling little bubbling little pot of hot mud. AND It's releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, uncontrolled, unconcerned, and without any guilt at all. At least California realizes there in no money or publicity in stopping this little pot. Until there is.
Traveling at about 20 feet a year, the muddy mystery has no obvious driver—and so far, it can't be stopped.
Refusing to stay in place, a roiling mass of carbon dioxide and slurry-like soil is migrating across the state at a pace of 20 feet a year. So far, it’s carved a 24,000-square-foot basin out of the earth, and it’s set to continue its crusade until what ever is driving it dies out. Scientists currently have no real idea why it’s moving or if it can be stopped.

Mud pots and mud volcanoes also generally don’t emit much water, but this one is extremely vigorous, producing somewhere around 40,000 gallons of water a day. Lynch and other experts have taken to calling it a “mud spring.”
