Step On A Crack...

Break your mother's... planet.

Cracks in the Earth--okay not the kind in sidewalks--may be contributing to global warming, according to discovery news.
Whether devastating faults, dank caves or mud cracks on a drying desert plain, Earth's surface is riddled with fractures. Now a new study had found that the cracks exhale large quantities of gas, perhaps enough to affect global warming. (discovery.com)
So it's not all because of my giant SUV. Take that environmentalists!


In other news, the Earth may be looking at another mass extinction. More on that tomorrow.
