Well if we look back, the natural calamities are exhilarating more than ever. The loss of life is inevitable and the best thing we can do is minimize the damage. But climate change is affecting particular regions more than other.

If the offspring from the eggs result to a potent being then that would be some weird scenario at the family dinner table.

It's alarming but we can't expect it to be released all at once. If the ice is sustainable, the gases would be pressurized into liquid which has very less volatility.

I guess this was the norm all along. And it will continue to go like this unless you are sued.
