A week or three ago I had seen a documentary about some marine biologists who were sampling life from very deep ocean floor. The vertical cameras that guide the critter sampling basket/grabber thing were getting the lenses covered with gases coming from the ocean floor. It was methane, escaping at a great rate, from extremely deep cold waters. I posted this to Ludwig that night as evidence (to my amateur eyes) we may be past the critical methane melt tipping point.

Anyway, if Deja vu is feeling like you been there before Deja fear is thinking you have come to this scar conclusion before. if (big if) there is any climate conspiracy at government levels, it is to hide how screwed we are.

Methane degrades. half life just 10-20 years in the atmosphere. The main problem remains co2, and the answer remains wind, solar, nuclear, and improved efficiency.

As to storing nuclear waste, the Yucca mt repository would have served. So that problem can be solved by ousting Harry Reid.
