"An event unprecedented in human history is today" - Methane gas at record highs
Abrupt climate change just around the corner peeps. Looks like the whole Arctic ice sheet is on the move and breaking up early:

March 22, 2013 video of Arctic ice breaking, cracks and on the move: [link to youtu.be]

Paul Beckwith, climatologist studying abrupt climate change: "For the record; I do not think that any sea ice will survive this summer. An event unprecedented in human history is today, this very moment, transpiring in the Arctic Ocean. The cracks in the sea ice that I reported on my Sierra Club Canada blog and elsewhere over the last several days have spread and at this moment the entire sea ice sheet (or about 99% of it) covering the Arctic Ocean is on the move. Clockwise. The ice is thin, and slushy, and breaking apart."

Beckwith goes on to say, "This is abrupt climate change in real-time. Humans have benefited greatly from a stable climate for the last 11,000 years or roughly 400 generations. Not any more. We now face an angry climate. One that we have poked in the eye with our fossil fuel stick and awakened. And now we must deal with the consequences. We must set aside our differences and prepare for what we can no longer avoid. And that is massive disruption to our civilizations."

(from Part-time professor and climatologist Paul Beckwith)


Record Methane in Arctic early March 2013:

"Methane levels for this period are at record highs in the Barents and Norwegian Seas, i.e. the highest levels ever recorded by IASI, which is is short for Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer, a Fourier transform spectrometer on board the European EUMETSAT Metop satellite that has supplied data since 2007."
[link to arctic-news.blogspot.co.uk]

"This has the potential to release vast quantities of methane trapped by ice below the surface - billions of tonnes of methane. World-wide, peat bogs store at least two trillion tons of CO2. This is equivalent to a century of emissions from fossil fuels."
[link to www.examiner.com]

This my friend, is the REAL REASON DHS ordered all those bullets. We are living on our own self-induced asteroid. Don't need to worry about what's incoming but rather what we are currently standing on.

It boggles the mind that the current methane crisis (because that's what it is) gets so little attention by ANYONE. It's not a joke. People don't seem to realize that a lot of shit going on in the oceans right now (mass die offs and bizarre animal behavior) are tied directly to the methane releases that are going on with increasing frequency. Not to mention the alarming rate in which the ice sheets are disintegrating and releasing methane into the atmosphere. And this is not something that is going to slow - we've reached a tipping point and it is just going to get worse until there's no one left to give a shit...

I heard a professor in an interview who says humanity has passed the point of no return. He believes at this point it doesn't matter what we do. Humans will be extinct in a relatively short time.

I am so in agreement. When I first started studying climate change 9 years ago, I knew then that methane gas was going to be the biggest threat we would face if the ice melted....and it is... it's crazy watching this unfold. Just mind-blowing.

Now this is the news I really didn't want to hear. This and Fuku should be EVERYWHERE. This is the real deal ELE and no-one gives a shit. So much for the DOOOOOOM fans.

Either TPTB and media are too stupid to realise, or they know and aren't willing to give us a chance to do something.

Most of the US seems to be anti-green issues, the Chinese are belching tons of waste and in Europe no one cares either.

Stupid stupid stupid stupid humans. We are screwed.

Geo-engineering, although it has it's own possible hazards of it own, seems to be the only way we could stop it now. TPTB are not acting fast enough though, may take a massive movement like the Occupy movement to wake people up. These are the only things I can think of at this point. We could reduce our energy use now but that's not going to matter when tons of methane gas enter the atmosphere.

Having lived through multiple human ending events I'm a bit skeptical. The Gulf spill was going to cause a huge die off, then Fukushima was going to kill millions, and now methane is the straw that breaks the camels back. I'm a little jaded when it comes to doom.

According to science, this planet has been around for 4 billion years. In that time, earth has experienced several climate shifts. Does it make the slightest sense at all that 150 years of oil and coal burning will end life on the planet as we know it? What utter horseshit. Just like gun regulation, it's another form of manipulation and control. Give up your freedoms for the greater good. Give up your right to self defense. Give up your right to move freely about in your own car. Ride an electric bus or a fucking bicycle. Well fuck that.

Winter is NOT OVER in the Far North. I live in Fairbanks. Minus 20 degrees last night, nothing is even starting to melt, except a little bit on sunny afternoons.

If you doubt me, google Ice Alaska and check out the pictures of the ice sculptures, they have not even started to drip. And the Arctic Ocean is quite a ways north of here. The ice is NOT cracking because 'winter is over'.

I'm sorry, but we are at peak CO2 and peak methane. 50M tons of methane have been released by the Eastern Ice Shelf ALONE. With this added methane, and the loss of the ice to cool the planet, you will have a runaway heat feedback loop.

The evidence is there (you can verify it with simple experiments). It does not matter whether you 'believe' or not. You can stand infront of a speeding train and 'believe' it wont kill you as much as like. Facts are facts.
