Well, I've definitely become a doomster. So sad. From now on each year will be worse than the one before. We're going to shoot right past 2.5C. Is it too much to expect terrifying social breakdowns by 2030?
No no not at all. The stress fractures in civilization are already very apparent and it's pretty obvious that the world is in no way shape or form ready for any of the consequences that are coming. It was already predicted by supercomputer that civilization would collapse sometime around 2040. As things stand right now, I see no reason why it couldn't happen by 2030, or at least be so well on the way as to make little difference. The biggest problem with all these "technology will save us!" people is that tech can't save us if we're scrambling just to hold things together. When the slide down into collapse becomes impossible to miss, we won't be able to muster enough resources to fight anything let alone climate change.

The data is indisputable and readily available, easily obtained from authoritative sites. You folks live the most privileged life in history and all there is, is whining.
Thanks for sharing that research. As more data is gathered it will be useful for incorporating into the climate models, most of which have so far seriously underestimated the rate of actual warming in the Arctic region.
"Scientists continue to be surprised by the speed of changes - especially those changes that make for a positive feedback" Perhaps we need some new scientists - or is the journalism the problem? Either way, no-one involved in climate science or climate journalism should be surprised by new findings that climate change and its self-reinforcing consequences (like new sources of methane ramping up) are accelerating. That is literally how positive feedback loops work.
You are absolutely right about the quality of scientists today. Universities discriminate in favour of ability to pay over actual academic ability. Any dummy from a cashed-up family can become a 'scientist' but too few are worthy of their posts.
The methane itself is a serious problem. The actual uncombusted methane molecule is some 25X more powerful as a greenhouse gas than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide and the individual methane molecules remain in the atmosphere for 8-12 years. Over a 20 year period methane has the combined effect of being 80X powerful than CO2. Uncombusted, it accounts for 30% of the observed global temperature rise.
@@deepashtray5605 & @Peace2051 - Exactly AND... Once methane breaks down, it reverts to two more GHG's adding to the mix - CO2 and H20 vapour. Methane is far from being benign as a gas alone.

"...the rate of change ...that's scary." -- methane concentrations are accelerating. It seems that many parts of the world are experiencing rates of change far in excess of predictions. Conditions that weren't supposed to arrive before the end of the century are threatening to appear overnight.
My understanding is when trapped old plant life is exposed and decomposes via bacteria, it produces CO2, but if it decomposes without bacteria it produces methane. I'd be curious to know if where that water spout is, if they captured air above it, would it indicate elevated levels of methane or CO2 or both or normal levels?
I think this is old science. Its not with or without bacteria. Its with or without oxygen. Its aerobic vs anarobic. Still remember some science from high school, thats many decades ago.
Not so. If the breakdown of the organic material is with oxygen available, the product is Carbon dioxide. If the breakdown is by anaerobic bacteria in the absence of oxygen, the product is Methane (and often ammonia)
This is not decomposing organic material. It is the effect of abiotic reduction of carbonates in Geothermal and magmatic settings. I would like to see a full chemical, microbial and isotopic Analysis of their GEOTHERMAL spring water please.

What bothers me is if the organic matter trapped below the ground and glaciers are of a quality that they can still be metabolised by micro organisms. That alone would generate a lot of energy. Think of how hot compost can get. Certainly combined over such large areas, volumes one should say, the combined effect would be severe in such environments.

As land warms from permafrost, the first thing to awaken is the bacterial action on old plant life that’s trapped in the soil, but then plants will grow on the surface of this soil which will absorb CO2. This should offset some amount of the methane produced just like soil everywhere. What is this ratio?
Probably the sun and earths pole shift coming. Question is where is the pole going to stop? If it stops in a non habitable area nothing wbad will happen ,but if it stops in a high population are like it did whit siberia(10000 city ruins found in siberia some as large as london) then mass migration the likes we have not seen for a long time.
