A 5 minute overview of what is happening with Methane in the arctic. There is a big difference between generally knowing, and actually seeing the images. What will it be like in the next decade?
2. Featured: Massive Methane Hydrate Destabilization in the Past with Profound Implications for Today’s Climate
This paper supports the Clathrate Gun hypothesis. The last time the glaciers melted, 126 thousand years ago, the fresh water slowed the Atlantic Meridional Overturning(AMOC) current, there was less arctic water near the equator, the continental shelf waters heated up and released lots of methane, as measured in ice cores, and confirmed by other measurements. The same thing is about to happen again. Greenland is melting, the AMOC is the weakest in 1200 years. Greenhouse gasses and temperatures keep rising. By @PaulHBeckwith@Twitter.com
