Scientists pointed out that a huge hole suddenly appeared is a time bomb which suggests that no measures against global warming have been waited



Global warming is said to cause various environmental problems such as extraordinary weather and sea level rise. In the situation where countermeasures against global warming are required as soon as possible, in recent years, huge holes of several tens of meters in diameter appearing one after another in Russia are beginning to worry about accelerating the progress of global warming I will.

It was in 2014 that a huge hole appeared for the first time in Russia. When a suddenly emerging huge hole was confirmed from a helicopter helicopter, it seems that everyone was puzzled because it did not know what it was.

A hole of 100 feet in diameter (about 30 meters) was made up of a theory that the meteorite was formed, a theory that it was made by secret military weapons of the Russian army, a theory that alien made it We called a speculation. According to the subsequent survey, the permafrost melts as it rises in temperature and it is in the groundmethane hydrateRevealed that it gushed as methane gas and left a huge hole when it flew into the air.

It seems to explore a huge hole with a rope. The bottom of the hole showed abnormally high methane concentration, which confirmed that methane hydrate burst out.


When the first huge hole was discovered in July 2014, scientists pointed out that similar cases will continue from the trend of global warming that is occurring globally However, I expected that expectation. Similar huge holes are found one after another, mainly in Siberia. If methane hydrate becomes methane gas and is released to the atmosphere in large quantities, methane gas has an extremely high greenhouse effect of about 25 times that of carbon dioxide, so the prediction that the trend of global warming could accelerate further is It is being issued.

Also, some of the huge holes are found at the point of only 6 miles (about 10 km) of the natural gas field, and an explosion occurs as a sudden release of combustible gas called natural gas and methane gas It seems that the safety of the surrounding area is beginning to be regarded as a problem.


Dr. Basiley Bogoyyerski of the Russian Academy of Sciences has confirmed more than 20 craters by survey using satellite images. It is pointed out that the huge hole emergence range has expanded, such as being found in places with higher latitudes than ever. According to Dr. Bogoyaleski, it is difficult to predict where a hole appears but it tends to increase steadily. Furthermore, there is also a report that an earthquake has occurred with the appearance of a huge hole, he says.

A huge hole that is beginning to increase mainly in Russia is brought about by global warming, and the same phenomenon is pointed out in North America such as Alaska. Scientists are urging the need to hasten global warming countermeasures against the situation that is entering a vicious circle that the global warming is further accelerated by the appearance of a huge hole formed by methane hydrate release.
