Study Says Undersea Release of Methane Is Under Way
This report fron the New York Times follows up on other reports posted this week by the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation.
Climate scientists have long warned that global warming could unlock vast stores of the greenhouse gas methane that are frozen into the Arctic permafrost, setting off potentially significant increases in global warming.
Now researchers at the University [...]

Climate change could be accelerated dramatically by rising levels of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere, scientists will warn today
Atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas, which is as much as 60 times more potent than carbon dioxide, appear to have risen significantly for the past three years running, scientists say.
Experts have long feared that vast amounts of the natural gas trapped in the frozen tundra of the Arctic could be unlocked as the permafrost [...]

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 [...]

Rainforests turned into smoldering ruins
Sumatra, Indonesia (CNN) — The land still smolders, tinted with a depressing gray. Twisted hulks of tree trunks take on abnormal shapes. A dark black canal cuts through the wasted landscape.
It looks like a scene from an apocalyptic movie where an unknown force has obliterated all life. But this is the reality of Sumatra, Indonesia’s [...]

‘Copenhagen Diagnosis’ offers a grim update to the IPCC’s climate science reports seen now as flawed.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the world’s foremost body for weighing and assessing climate science—received a kick in the pants today from members who say the climate situation is much worse than the IPCC has so far reported.
Twenty-six climatologists—including 14 IPCC members—have released a startling update to the panel’s work, reporting that sea levels could [...]
