Extinction of all life on Earth scheduled for 2031-2051 [View all]

[Speck Tater]

Abstract

Although the sudden high rate Arctic methane increase at Svalbard in late 2010 data set applies to only a short time interval, similar sudden methane concentration peaks also occur at Barrow point and the effects of a major methane build-up has been observed using all the major scientific observation systems. Giant fountains/torches/plumes of methane entering the atmosphere up to 1 km across have been seen on the East Siberian Shelf. This methane eruption data is so consistent and aerially extensive that when combined with methane gas warming potentials, Permian extinction event temperatures and methane lifetime data it paints a frightening picture of the beginning of the now uncontrollable global warming induced destabilization of the subsea Arctic methane hydrates on the shelf and slope which started in late 2010. This process of methane release will accelerate exponentially, release huge quantities of methane into the atmosphere and lead to the demise of all life on earth before the middle of this century.

It takes more energy to melt ice than it takes to heat water once the ice is melted. After the arctic ice is gone (in 2015-2017) the heating of the arctic water will increase exponentially, releasing more methane, and putting in motion a positive feedback loop that will mean the end of all life on Earth by mid-century.
