Subsea permafrost on East Siberian Arctic Shelf in accelerated decline

Sounds like I may as well have that second Tartine morning bun.

Oh no, we're all going to DIE!!!!

Oh wait, we are - actually going to die - after living out our normal life span baring accidents...

They're not aware of the concept of tipping point and the indisputable scie ntific evidence that it has been reached quite some time ago. So now we go into the era of involuntary human extinction.

That means that there could be 500 billion tonnes of frozen methane hydrate under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf.

The last epidsode of rapid global warmong that we had

seems to have been caused by the addition of 2000 to 7000 gigatons of meth ane to the Earth atmsophere over a couple of thousand years, which is rathe r more than the East Siberian Arctic Shelf seems to have to offer.

Since current global warming does seem to be largely driven by us digging u p fossil carbon and burning it as fuel, getting extra warming from the Arct ic permafrost wouldn't be a good thing, but it is by no means obvious how l ong it would take us to destabilise all the East Arctic methane hydrates, o r whether these are the only deposits of methane hydrates we have to worry about.

These numbers are being revised all the time. It is impossible to know any of it within more than a few orders of magnitude.

Didn't we already go extinct some time in the 1980s?

The space station is a huge waste of money. It should be used to prevent comet/asteroid hits, which *could* wipe out a chunk of the population.

That's typical of climate science, being off 1000:1. Or not even getting the sign right.

The 'potential' threat enables more research - which then pays for their

salaries for a few more years until they find something else that will 'tip us over the line'.

Consider the recent stories about how malaria, etc., could be coming to northern US and Canada while forgetting that historically malaria was common as far north as Ottawa, Canada back in the 1800s.

People adapt to and/or change their local environment all the time.

Pollution and poverty are two major scourges that still need more attention as far as immediate improvement to human life NOW - not 100 years in the future!

It's impossible to know how much methane is trapped beneath the ice. But fe el free to suggest a more precise estimation methodology. Seeing as the exp anse of ocean on the Earth's surface escapes you, I don't have high hopes y ou'll come up with anything.

I design electronics. Why don't you?

Electronics is kinda stone age, that's why it's mostly neanderthals who wor k with it.

Electronics is only about a hundred years old, and has radically changed the world. And will change it more.
