Methane Will Burn The Earth To A Cinder
Following the news this week that methane – a potent greenhouse gas - is being released from the seabed at a rate faster than previously anticipated, researchers scrambling to recalibrate climate models have stumbled upon a massive reservoir of methane hitherto undiscovered. The ramifications of such a large volume of the explosive gas being suddenly released are nothing short of catastrophic. At sufficiently high concentrations the methane could ignite a global firestorm, burn the Earth’s surface to a cinder and in doing so consume all of the available oxygen in the atmosphere.
