Of course the arctic sea ice won't be gone in 3 years and if anyone remembers koan's post, he'd say he only said it "could" be gone.

The Methane Big Lie

Posted on
June 3, 2012 by stevengoddard

The world has enough natural gas to power it for many centuries. The idea of clean, abundant natural gas is terrifying to people who have invested heavily in nearly worthless technologies like solar and wind powered electricity. This has led to idiotic claims that methane is 20X worse than CO2 and will cause mankind to go extinct.

The truth is that methane has almost no effect on Earth’s radiative balance. It has only a couple of narrow absorption bands, both of which overlap with much more abundant H2O. The atmospheric mole fraction of CH4 is less than 0.000002
