Mother Nature is about to take a HUGE silent but deadly fart on the Biosphere, due to Westernization of Earth

Mother Nature is about to take a huge massive deadly FART on the biosphere, thanks to Westernization of the planet.

It was shown that slight changes in seafloor erosion and sedimentation patterns that change the thermal and pressure regime below the seafloor could be viable mechanisms for unroofing underlying gas reservoirs, which can release CH4 in large quantities66. Once initiated, erosion could propagate further downward and migrate laterally to adjacent areas, driven by venting gas. Erosion of a few tens of seafloor metres could unroof over-pressured shallow gas reservoirs and buoyant hydrate-laden sediment accumulations beneath the seafloor, triggering rapid gas release66,67.
Natalia Shakhova, is an associate research professor at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks’ International Arctic Research Center, told Truthout that,
“These emissions are prone to be non-gradual (massive, abrupt) for a variety of reasons,” and that, “The main reason is that the nature of major processes associated with methane releases from subsea permafrost is non-gradual.”
What that means is that an estimated 50-gigaton methane release is possible at any moment, or in her words,
“highly possible at any time.”
Mrs. Shakhova isn’t alone in her views, in July of 2013 the journal Nature published a study that confirmed this apocalyptic prediction. In addition to Nature, the UK’s Met Office considers a 50-gigaton methane release from the arctic to be “plausible,”
The Met went on to say that, “
That may cause ∼12-times increase of modern atmospheric methane burden, with consequent catastrophic greenhouse warming.”

According to our findings published earlier in Nature Geoscience, Science and Philosophical Transactions, Royal Society, the size of CH4 bubble flow from the bottom sediments into the ESAS water can vary from milligrams to tens or hundreds of grams per square meter a day depending on the state of subsea permafrost, which leads to the concentration increase of atmospheric CH4 in the surface layer to values 2-4 times exceeding background concentrations measured in our planet,'
says the first author of the paper Professor Natalia Shakhova, the TPU Department of Geology and Minerals Prospecting.

She notes that these findings were confirmed during the expedition to the East Siberian Arctic Self in 2016. The expedition was organized and conducted jointly with the scientists from the Pacific Oceanological Institute FEB RAS, with the participation of the Institute of Oceanology RAS and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics RAS. More data will be published in 2018.
