Winter is coming. A few months from now nothing will be 'thawed', in Siberia or in Canada I'll wager.
The "Global warming is real - humans are evil" crowd will find something else to chirp their cause over. Look! A 10% increase in algae in Norwegian Fjords!
Beano won't solve that one either.

The sinkholes opened up because perpetually frozen ground has thawed due to
a warming trend in the region occurring only within the last few years.
Putting Climate Change arguments aside for a moment, huge amounts of methane appear to have been released into the atmosphere from these sinkholes.
It will be interesting to see if this release will contribute to a cycle in which the warming trend in the region is sustained resulting in more sinkholes thus more methane released etc etc ad infinitum.
Should this occur, no amount of behavior modification on Man's behalf will make any difference whatsoever and some form of drastic action involving Bruce Willis would have to be taken.
