Mother Nature’s effervescence, ‘Bubbles,’
For those who have read my book ZERO Greenhouse Emissions – The Day the Lights Went Out – Our Future World, the reports this week by the science community of the discovery of methane release from thawing methane clathrates from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf will come as little surprise. In chapter 9 Mother Natures [...]

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 [...]

Increasing methane leaks in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf could trigger abrupt warming
Reported in Science this tipping point on the destabilization of methane clathrates was detailed as a possible consequence on Arctic warming in ZERO Greenhouse Emissions. The book by Bob Williamson of the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation suggests this as one of multiple interlinked outcomes. It is required reading to determine how action must now be focused, [...]

All aboard, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts. There is a 25% chance this plane will crash.
By Bob Williamson – Greenhouse Neutral Foundation
The reality of that welcome to us would be our reply, “I’m not getting on this flight!”
Yet we are all in fact on that flight with climate change and the plane has taken off.
Much has been promoted in the media lately that climate change science is somehow conspiring to [...]

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 [...]

Pinpointing Emissions at Their Source
The Greenhouse Neutral Foundation was recently alerted to this breaking technology by Alex Salkever of Picarro. Alex directed us to the video below and on viewing; we were excited by the potential of this technology and its broad deployment. While emissions of methane (CH4 a greenhouse gas 25 times a potent as a CO2 for [...]

Arctic permafrost leaking methane at record levels, figures show
Experts say methane emissions from the Arctic have risen by almost one-third in just five years, and that sharply rising temperatures are to blame
Scientists have recorded a massive spike in the amount of a powerful greenhouse gas seeping from Arctic permafrost, in a discovery that highlights the risks of a dangerous climate tipping point.
Experts say [...]

Higher Temperatures Can Worsen Climate Change, Methane Measurements from Space Reveal
Higher temperatures on the earth’s surface at higher latitudes cause an increase in the emission of methane, a greenhouse gas that plays an important role in global warming. Therefore, higher temperatures are not just a consequence of climate change but can also worsen cause of it, conclude climate researchers in an article published inScience.
During their [...]
