Mam problem z przetłumaczeniem "methane burp" czy "A big Burp theory of Apocalypse". Opis oraz użyta przez autora metafora: "the ocean surface is churning and burping gas like a billion overfed infants" aż prosi się aby przywołany przez autora "burp" przetłumaczyć jako bekniecie! ale niewiem czy to nie zbyt mało eleganckie zwłaszcza, że tekst pochodzi z pracy naukowej: "Apocalyptic framing of global warming". Jednak łagodniejsza "teoria metanowej czkawki" nie oddaje chyba wizji opisanej przez autora....:)Pom�zcie!!!
Podaje dłuższy fragment, kt�ry mam nadzieję zainspiruje do tw�rczej parafrazy wspomnianego beku:)


For example, following his headline of �A Big Burp Theory of the Apocalypse,� Kristof (2006) writes: It�s a dark and stormy night, and deep within the ocean the muddy bottom begins to stir. Giant squids flee in horror as reservoirs of methane frozen at the bottom of the ocean begin to thaw, releasing bubbles that rise to the surface. Soon the ocean surface is churning and burping gas like a billion overfed infants, transforming the composition of our atmosphere. That�s a scene from a new horror movie I�m envisioning, called �Killer Ocean.� I�m hoping it might play in the White House and Congress, because it depicts one of the more bizarre and frightening ways in which global warming could devastate our planet � what scientists have dubbed the �methane burp.� (p. 27) The lead sentence of this article creates a vivid description of the telos of global warming, quickly propelling readers along the linear trajectory of oceanic transformation-to-catastrophe. By using language like �horror� and �bizarre,� as well as the metaphor of �a billion overfed infants� leading to the destruction of humankind via the ocean, the author sets the tone for an
apocalyptic vision. While the author may be writing tongue-in-cheek, s/he still frames global warming as an apocalyptic event.
