re: #80 FriarsTale

hey, friends
did you all see this?
Siberian Methane to Dwarf CO2 as Global Warming Threat

seems that more Methane may further accelerate (non-A) Global Warming

Once you’ve covered (as LVQ suggested) some basic grade school science like how rain and snow works then move on to some basic systems theory which is the basis of really understanding ecological systems and you’ll find things like ‘positive feedback’ loops. Once you get an understanding of those concepts you’ll understand what’s happening with the methane seeping issue and how AGW fits with the whole thing. In a nutshell warming can create feedback loops that accelerate (exponentially) ecosystem processes. Ecosystems do not function in linear a fashion.
