That won’t help
From the News from Siberia file:
Scientists in Siberia have discovered an area of sea that is “boiling” with methane, with bubbles that can be scooped from the water with buckets. Researchers on an expedition to the East Siberian Sea said the “methane fountain” was unlike anything they had seen before, with concentrations of the gas in the region to be six to seven times higher than the global average.
The team is doing research on the environmental consequences of permafrost thawing. You know the drill – permafrost melting, methane being released, permafrost melting faster, more methane being released, permafrost melting even faster, continue until everything dies.
And it’s not just the tundra, it’s also the ocean.
In 2017, scientists announced they had discovered hundreds of craters at the bottom of the Barents Sea, north of Norway and Russia. The craters had formed from methane building up then exploding suddenly when the pressure got too high.
And now they’ve found these methane fountains, around which the methane levels are nine times higher than average global concentrations.
Release the Clathrates!
Yes, climate modelers got it wrong because they were too conservative. Can’t trust them with anything, can we? It’s all a wild guess!
We are so fucked.
And still got branded as radical fear mongers crying wolf…Cassandras.
The deniers have been calling us Cassandras for a long time. That is actually so, so appropriate. We are Cassandra, predicting disaster. We are not listened to. Disaster happens.
Meanwhile, the left insists on calling environmentalists Don Quixote. Strange, that, since the monsters he fought were not real.
I think we need a refresher course on fictional characters. But that can wait until we persuade them to listen to Cassandra, and believe Cassandra. The horse is at the gate…time to listen, now that it may be too late.
So there is a silver lining to the destruction of the human race… interesting scientific phenomena!
