Methane Acceleration Sets Record
In the year 2021 methane (CH4) concentration in the atmosphere exceeded 1,900 ppb for the first time in human history recorded by Global Monitoring Laboratory, Earth System Research Laboratories, National…
Methane Hydrate Feedback Loop
Arctic Methane Threat: Global Warming Increasing Bacterial Methanogenesis & Methane Release
The atmospheric level of the potent greenhouse gas (GHG) methane (CH4) is increasing, and is now nearly triple the pre-industrial level. There is a positive feedback loop in the Arctic…
Siberia’s Hot Streak
Global warming in Siberia is on a hot streak! It was +6°C last year. In like manner, if the entire planet hit +6°C above pre-industrial, it would be lights out,…
Why The Climate Emergency is now The Methane Emergency
We are about to go through the most profound shift in the climate debate in 20 years. The result will be the end of the gas industry’s hope of being…
The fatal consequences of high atmospheric methane levels
It is hard to think of a more Orwellian expression than that describing the increase in toxic atmospheric methane gas as “gas-led recovery.” Several of the large mass extinctions of…
Menacing Methane – An Analysis
“The story of methane really is a story of a very serious definitive threat to our future existence on this planet.” (Peter Wadhams) Legendary Arctic explorers Sir James Clark Ross,…
A Troubling Discovery in the Arctic
A notable satellite-telephonic call to colleagues in late October from Swedish scientist Örjan Gustafsson of Stockholm University briefly described a haunting discovery. On board the research ship R/V Akademik Keldysh,…
The Methane Time Bomb And The Future Of The Biosphere
The extraction and transferfrom the earth crust to the atmosphere of every economically available molecule of carbon, including coal,oil, tar sand oil, shale oil, methane gas, coal seam gasand other…
The Methane Hydrate Feedback Loop Threat
Will we experience a Methane (CH4) Hydrate Feedback Loop that will place us on a repeat path like that of the Permian Triassic mass extinction? Or, to our horror, will…
