Collapse will be global. Unless, by then, the incremental increase of greenhouse gasses sets off rapid sublimation of Arctic methane hydrates. If so complex life on Earth goes extinct in years to at most a few decades in a methane firestorm. If back in the 70's we had begun a focused transition to renewables using still abundant high net energy oil....now it is almost too late...possibly too late no matter...still a diminishing chance if abrupt transition perhaps...Per Dr. Malcolm Light:
I have a PhD in Geology from the
University of London where I worked at CPOM on the Arctic with Duncan Wingham
who designed Cryosat. This is my 13th year working on global warming.
I am writing to you about the new mean atmospheric methane content
for 2014. Unfortunately it is dramatically higher than in 2013 and
indicates that the rate of methane expulsion from the sub-sea Arctic methane
hydrates has increased from 2.5 to 5 times. This has greatly sped up the
rate of global warming and we can expect planetary wide global extinction to
occur between 8 and 16 years in the future (2023 - 2031). The poster (see
below) summarizes all the available information. The problem is the "All
of the Above Energy Policy" put in place by President Obama and the United
States administration is now producing giant pollution clouds that move north -
east into the Atlantic, heating up the Gulf Stream, which had already increased
its flow rate by three times since the 1940's. This hot Gulf Stream makes its
way to the Arctic where it is destabilizing the methane hydrates at
exponentially increasing rates. Five Nations (United Arab Emirates, Saudi
Arabia, United States, Australia and Canada) hold the position of the most
extreme carbon footprints per person on Earth, but the US also has a giant
carbon dioxide emission rate making them the greatest waster of fossil fuels on
Earth and the greatest threat to humanity's future existence. I would be
grateful if you would pass this information on to all scientists and
administration officials dealing with climate prediction and to the government.
The imminent and precipitous nature of this global warming catastrophe requires
instant reaction at all levels of society or we will all be dead.
