there's also 1200 gigatons (1.2 trillion tons) of pressurized methane in the world's largest ocean shelf, East Siberian
Arctic Shelf, and arctic permafrost
and the taliks have melted down to 50 gigatons of
subsurface methane that should soon have an "abrupt eruption" doubling
atmospheric temperatures soon.
As the above fascinating and scary doc reveals - the computer global warming models IGNORED this methane! oops. Goto
http://arctic-news.blogspot.com for more details.
"Increased methane fluxes could occur as numerous weak seeps or as
strong bubble plumes over large areas. Due to the shallow depth of the
ESAS, it is possible that the majority of methane released avoids
oxidation and escapes to the atmosphere."
That link lists her most recent research.
"Brief, transient spikes of CH4
concentration from localized gas seep sources do not represent the
dominant sea-to-atmosphere flux in the studied ESAS region."
Those scientists try to refute her research team claims but I don't think they are accurate.
"We demonstrate that, under suitable circumstances, some of the 96.5% of
methane bound in deeper water distal hydrates can reach the seafloor and
vent into the ocean beyond the landward limit of marine hydrate. This
reservoir should therefore be considered for estimating climate
change-induced methane release during a warming world."
That study does not even cite Shakhova but corroborates her claim....
AI is claiming the above is hyperbole - thereby proving that AI is delusional.
