If we do have a methane burst its going to be catastrophic, Wadhams said. Earlier this year, Wadhams and colleagues in Britain calculated that a mega-methane release from the Siberian shelf could push global temperatures up by 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius). The suggestion, published in the journal Nature, was widely debated by climate researchers. Climate change experts and international negotiators have said that keeping the rise in Earths average temperature below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) is necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change. Time is Short. We are a culture of resistance to the industrial infrastructure that is pushing the biosphere into irreversible destruction. We must love, and we must resist the industrial causes of Ecocide. Join us! Start by reading the book Deep Green Resistance.
