What's your evidence we hit the methane runaway tipping point?


I think it’s fairly speculative, but I used to hang out with scientists from the UAF geophysical institute, I still keep in touch. They seem to believe it is the case. some of them have told me that if they were to publish it would be career suicide, and one is actually afraid to talk about it except when he’s drunk.

I figure if those guys, at least as smart as I am and way, way better informed, think it’s probable then I should consider it a significant possibility.

I really hope they are all full of shit lol.
