The CARVE science team is busy analyzing data from its first full year of science flights. What they're finding, Miller said, is both amazing and potentially troubling.
"Some of the methane and carbon dioxide concentrations we've measured have been large, and we're seeing very different patterns from what models suggest," Miller said. "We saw large, regional-scale episodic bursts of higher-than-normal carbon dioxide and methane in interior Alaska and across the North Slope during the spring thaw, and they lasted until after the fall refreeze. To cite another example, in July 2012 we saw methane levels over swamps in the Innoko Wilderness that were 650 parts per billion higher than normal background levels. That's similar to what you might find in a large city."
And yet another sign emerges indicating that things are heating up faster than expected. Carbon Dioxide and Methane gases long ago trapped under the Arctic ice caps are beginning to rise up into the atmosphere like weather balloons from hell.
Is a Sleeping Climate Giant Stirring in the Arctic? | NASA
Methane is indeed the very possible sleeping giant/tipping point/additional possible snowball effect.
It is a 20x more potent Greenhouse gas than CO2... and slight warming frees up large quantities more.
As Tundra melts, Methane is freed.
Give me a break....More propaganda.....
Are you saying climate change is not happening or that if it is, it won't have any negative consequences?
It's all propaganda for you wingers except when it's time to talk about fetuses that are 3 weeks beyond conception. Then it's suddenly "killing babies" and "protecting the rights of a child", and mountains needing to be moved to stop the "slaughter".Give me a break....More propaganda.....

Exactly what I am saying.
That's not propaganda, that is the truth. Nice try though, too bad it isn't the same.
Right, global warming is more serious, threatens more actual lives.
I asked for proof, those sites are all pretty biased by the way.
False actually. Doesn't threaten anybody. Show proof that it does.

Maybe the warmers should learn solubility sciences better. It's only natural for both CO2 and CH4 to increase in atmospheric levels as the oceans warm. By this I mean the ratio between the two changes.
How can you make such statements?Methane is indeed the very possible sleeping giant/tipping point/additional possible snowball effect.
It is a 20x more potent Greenhouse gas than CO2... and slight warming frees up large quantities.

I can imagine this is another of Planar's lets make **** up posts. If you research it and figure out everything he is saying you'll find some massive wrong crap in his "methodology". Up is down, gas is liquid, something of that nature.
Then good sir, I challenge you to show me wrong.
