Methane levels may see 'runaway' rise, scientists warn

A rapid acceleration may have begun in levels of a gas far more harmful than CO2


Atmospheric levels of methane, the greenhouse gas which is much more powerful than carbon dioxide, have risen significantly for the last three years running, scientists will disclose today – leading to fears that a major global-warming "feedback" is beginning to kick in.

For some time there has been concern that the vast amounts of methane, or "natural gas", locked up in the frozen tundra of the Arctic could be released as the permafrost is melted by global warming. This would give a huge further impetus to climate change, an effect sometimes referred to as "the methane time bomb"....

7. This morning's Sandy Eggo paper...
had an opinion piece saying Global Climate Change is real and that the debate is over.

Every single response was in opposition. Some rants, some well researched (right wing) sources.... but all of them totally denying everything.

If they are wrong - and I think it's apparent they are... the world will continue to head toward a catastrophe at high speed.

The anti-scientific mind sure finds a home in this country.
