Thousands of underground gas bubbles poised to 'explode' in Arctic: 7,000 underground gas bubbles poised to 'explode' in Arctic
> Total amount of methane in the current atmosphere: ~5 gigatons
> Amount of carbon preserved as methane in the arctic shelf: estimated at 100s-1000s of gigatons
> Only 1% release would double the atmospheric burden of methane
> Not much effort is needed to destabilize this 1%
> The volume currently being released is estimated at 50 gigatons (it could be far more)
> 50 gigatons is 10x the methane content of the current atmosphere
> We are already at 2.5x pre-industrial level, there is a methane veil spreading southward from the arctic.
> Methane is 150x as powerful a greenhouse gas as CO2 when it is first released.
Dr. Guy McPherson has predicted the loss of human habitat on earth by 2030, by taking into account Methane clathrates coming from the Arctic sea floor and from Canadian and Siberian permafrost. There are a lot of positive feedback loops we're not taking into account.
Whether global warming is man made or not is not the issue. The world will continue to deteriorate, we are approaching the end times. Also see my thread on Fukushima. Repent before it is too late
I should also clarify, the only other extinction level event besides the end times was the flood and its aftermath. Don't be deceived, the events of Revelation are going to be fulfilled.
