We CAN reduce our CO2 emissions from fossil fuels but we COULD NOT reduce methane emissions once they started, huge natural forces would take over and change our world. This would probably result in the melting of the Antarctic icecap which would raise sea levels by 50 metres and would completely change the climates of the world. So what should we do? We should be careful and not risk starting the sequence events described above. To do this we must reduce total CO2 emissions from now onwards and take measures to protect carbon sinks such as the Amazon rainforest Why the panic ???? The planets gonna do what the planets gonna do .. What we do won't matter .. We're gonna blow through the rest of the planet's fossil fuels in the next 30 years or so anyway .. Once we've burned everything .. oil/gas/coal etc . We won't be emitting enough CO2 to worry about unless 9 billion humans exhaling is a problem ?? Why spend trillions to fix a problem ?? that's gonna take care of itself while we're still arguing about what to do about it ????? As far as methane goes, I'd be more worried about farting pigs and cows than oceanic clathrates .. <gg> Triff ..
