The article used anthrax as an example for a mechanism that could become more prevalent as more permafrost thaws. This mechanism is neither speculation nor a tenuous connection. It's fact. It is also a fact that global warming makes permafrost thaw.

Do you have anything to add to the discussion other than pure speculation, fearmongering and conspiracy theories regarding the motivations of the authors and scientists?
