Global warming, something to ponder: the entire artic tundra around the top of the world has trillions of tons of methane frozen in the permafrost. Methane is something like 30 times more of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. As the north melts it is releasing huge amounts of methane. Houses, built on permafrost in the north are sinking. Trees are growing on the north slope and the sea ice flows have moved much farther north and stays off the coast longer. Fish in the Bearing sea are moving north. Polar bears are drowing trying to find sea ice. Walruses are having trouble. My son in law specializes in methane isotopes. He developed a quick way to differentiate between methane molecules in the artic form methane molecules from brazil. He got his PHD from UC Irvine. Global warming is pretty much all he studies. This is the level the atmospheric chemists are working at. Most of the arguments put forth by laymen have been taken into account by these scientists.
