Aha ook daar zit al die CO2 uit het verleden...

There could be an “ocean” hidden under one of the driest areas on earth, according to a breakthrough discovery by Chinese scientists.
The amount of salt water beneath the Tarim basin in northwestern Xinjiang province could be equivalent to 10 times the water in all five Great Lakes in North America.
“This is a terrifying amount of water,” said professor Li Yan, who led the study at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography in Urumqi, the Xinjiang capital.
