Ya wanna talk about bad methane sources?!

Yes but in the grand scheme of things those are merely lowlife cretins.

They have little potential to harm people on the scale of what I am talking about.

I am very sorry to sound so alarmed, but I just got done analyzing a paper that proved to me that things I thought were absolute worst case scenarios are now becoming the most likely ones.

Most models - even in worst case do not take a methane release into account. If it is included, everything gets vastly worse. Since we really do not know how to model this well yet, it is nearly impossible to say precisely how bad it will be and in what time frame. It could move worst case scenarios up by as much as 50 years. It could just make certain that there is only a 2 meter rise by 2100. There is no way now however, that minimal nice projections that everyone counts on are possible.
