The Methane Disaster Bubbling in the Arctic

[Kelvin Mace]

11. Not much can be done

The evidence grows daily that we are beyond the tipping point. There is no credible evidence that the major polluters (China/U.S./Russia) have any intention of cutting back on burning fossil fuels. If we were to stop ALL climate warming behaviour today, the planet would continue to heat for some time on the "momentum" of the CO2 in the atmosphere now.

There is a slim hope that the recent lack of sun spot activity in the current cycle could cause some cooling, or more probably give us a pause in the warming, but you got better odds getting Pat Robertson to kiss Rush Limbaugh on the mouth.

With that depressing thought aside, I LOVE your user name. Big fan of The Wicker Man and Christopher Lee.
