Large, Troubling Methane Pulse Coincides With Arctic Heatwave, Tundra Fires

16. Gavin: Pulse would be clear in ice cores.

What the fuck Gavin. There would be no ice core to represent said pulse because the fucking ice would melt! Eemian was only slightly warmer than today, but it took centuries for Eemian to reach that level. No pulse happens because methane has a short half life in the fucking atmosphere. Of course Eemian isn't going to show a fucking goddamn pulse! Eemian had pre-industrial CO2 levels, to top it off, so in the end it was a purely Milankovitch cycle effect and glaciation likely also contributed to ocean cooling.

In summation there was no massive ocean heat uptake, no massive melting of arctic ice, and the Eemian is simply not comparable. Everything else is fucking invalid.
