Bad berries. Feedback loops... The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers; the heavens languish together with the earth. The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed laws, violated the statutes broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt. -the prophet Isaiah (c.760-690 B.C.) Isaiah 24:4-6 in the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible Climate Roulette: Loss of Carbon Sinks & Positive Feedbacks ecobridge.org There are also deposits of methyl hydrates on the ocean floors. "Dimming the Sun" showed them as actually burning on the ocean's surface, but that was just a projection, I hope. The other is represented by the possibility of a runaway greenhouse effect, as at earlier times in the Earth's history, such as at the Palaeocene / Eocene boundary 55 million years ago. Recent studies of ocean sediments have shown that 55 million years ago the Arctic sea had an average temperature of 20ºC. There was massive die back of marine creatures as carbon dioxide levels soared to between 2,000 and 3,000 parts per million. In each case vast releases of methane, from melting tundra and the release of methyl hydrates from the ocean floor, may have been the cause. crispintickell.com
