Methane Emissions Down, but Still Causing Climate Change

1. My trust of US Oil industry is way weaker than sharing my bed with Hanibal Lecter

2. Check out: GeoengineeringWatch.org

3. If you think methane is causing CC, then do some YouTube and possibly other Web searches about the major Udina volcano. It's located in a southeastern area of Russia and has been very dormant for millenia. Its seismic activity, however has increased something like 300-fold since December 2017. Apparently due to its LONG period of dormancy, hard, and possibly thick, crust formed at the surface of the ground, and if the volcano does strongly explode, then people will be able to cease talking about global warming, for the effect would be the very opposite. Get winter gear readied, stock up on preservable foods, etc. If this thing blows, then it'll blast the skies so full of, well, blasted crust that it may even block out the sun. Earth has had such experiences before, so just read up about this volcano. The volcano isn't far from Alaska, which also means western Canada and northwestern US, but if it massively blows, then the impression I got is that the effect will be even more widespread. The volcano I learned of last week at meteomedia.com is named " Bolshaya Udina ", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udina.

4. Please add links in description to data and websites cited

5. Is anyone looking at the fact that the EARTH is rapidly LOSING ITS MAGNETIC FIELD! Maybe that's having a big effect?! Also the grand solar minimum is coming to cool things down.

6. As government is the organized morality of society, as owning the power and glory of wealth is the all-encompassing goal of society, will we get an attitude adjustment before it's too late? No, so our only hope is an earth made new for the harmless. And so, be a pacifist vegetarian with just enough for a comfortable life and hope for the best.

7. We are so fucked… im just saying, right now im in the phase of acceptance…

8. Benjemin Polter forgot to mention the emissions from Arctic hydrate dissociation and thawing permafrost…

   The release of methane from the Arctic is in itself a major contributor to global warming as a result of polar amplification. Recent observations in the Siberian arctic show increased rates of methane release from the Arctic seabed. Land-based permafrost, also in the Siberian arctic, was estimated in 2013 to release 17 million tonnes of methane per year – a significant increase on the 3.8 million tons estimated in 2006, and estimates before then of just 0.5 million tonnes. This compares to around 500 million tonnes released into the atmosphere annually from all sources.

   Shakhova et al. (2008) estimate that not less than 1,400 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon is presently locked up as methane and methane hydrates under the Arctic submarine permafrost, and 5–10% of that area is subject to puncturing by open taliks. They conclude that "release of up to 50 Gt of predicted amount of hydrate storage [is] highly possible for abrupt release at any time". That would increase the methane content of the planet's atmosphere by a factor of twelve.

   In 2008 the United States Department of Energy National Laboratory system identified potential clathrate destabilization in the Arctic as one of the most serious scenarios for abrupt climate change, which have been singled out for priority research. The US Climate Change Science Program released a report in late December 2008 estimating the gravity of the risk of clathrate destabilization, alongside three other credible abrupt climate change scenarios.
   ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
   CH4 (methane) dissociation is ongoing and increasing in the shallow continental shelf of the ESS. In addition, both CO2 and CH4 are being released by the process of methanogenesis – the decomposition of biomass from the equally accelerating thaw of the tundra permafrosts.

   When promulgating the truth about global warming and subsequent climatic change, it is an imperative to include the whole picture, that means – all data sources.

   Equally left undiscussed, is the impact/inluence of the loss of the Aerosol Masking Effect (aka- 'global dimming'). Especially with regard to the reduction in FF burning emissions.

9. Mapping relative increases or relative changes in agricultural production (say less than 1% per year) to that of atmospheric methane does NOT and cannot account for the spikes and striking relative increases in methane concentration since 1990. Destabilization of continental methane clathrates, the global degradation of soils and microbia, and the unrestrained expansion of industry and poor practices are clearly the chief sources of new increases. Our problem is not likely to be solved by our corporate point of view.

10. I just quit. I have been paying attention to the biosphere degrading for 40 years. I just want the deniers to know that I remain unmoved by their ever-increasing bullshit. Besides, I'm not the one that they need to explain it to. The day is coming when they will be confronted by their own children.

11. Not credible. Let the bought-and-paid-for toadies decide? Good grief. The life of a lemming is preferable.

12. Can't believe what the current EPA tells you…they lie. shared

13. Ahh Bull Crap, biggest scam still, Emmissions are natural and NEEDED for all Life! AIR quality in clustered City Highrise shadow casting wind blocking Sun blocking mass virus spreader's! These be goofs! And live off the lie! Eh! Fake Fake News as usual! Notice they never mention Deep State government Chem Trailed Sky's! Genocidests! ALL of'em!

14. You know who the biggest global warming pushers are? BIG OIL!! It is a load of crap. The real threat is habitat destruction, global war, water and soil contamination, Monsanto, and nuclear waste. Global warming is globalism just like World Health Organization is globalism. It is just another way to control the actions of all humanity.

15. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT, and STOP the MISINFORMATION campaign!!! Anthropogenic overuse of * SULFATE AEROSOLS * is our most prolific problem!!!
    Human deposition of SULFURIC ACID via stratospheric GEOENGINEERING with SULFATE AEROSOLS, PERTURBATED (ie. heated) in our atmosphere, resulting in Secondary Organic AEROSOLS (SOAs), and combining with carbonaceous (PFOS) AEROSOLS…both, major component of our FINE-PARTICLE-POLLUTION, and the most likely contributing factor to CLIMATE CHANGE!!!
    The potential negative effects to control Earth's temperature by SPRAYING ("injecting") small PARTICLES into the STRATOSPHERE, to then be PURTURBATED, is NOT being diligently characterized. Human, [anthropogenic] sources of ATMOSPHERIC SULFUR OXIDES, including SULFURIC ACID deposition from STRATASPHERIC CLIMATE ENGINEERING with SULFATE AEROSOLS and burning of fossil fuels, accounts for 75% to 80% of the HUMAN PRODUCTION of SULFUR OXIDES, in our AIR…the US alone, releases about 20 MILLION TONS of SULFUR DIOXIDE into our, air each year…to put it into perspective, the large eruption of the volcanic Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, released between 15 and 30 MILLION TONS.
    Excess SULFUR OXIDE (SO2) has been linked to abnormally LOW OZONE LEVELS…SO2 DEPLETES the OZONE LAYER by reducing the solar flux it absorbs, between 180 nm-390 nm…the same range for the photolysis of O2, which is NECESSARY for OZONE production..since photolysis is reduced, OZONE production is also REDUCED!
    Change in CO2 temperature is NOT a change in atmospheric temp…CO2 comprises only 0.4% of ALL GASES above our heads. The trick of climate doomsayers is to draw their conclusions, obtained from the ARRHENIUS FORMULA for CO2 (only 0.04% of atmosphere), then apply that change of temperature to the WHOLE [global] CLIMATE SYSTEM; this is BAD SCIENCE, at best…closer to FRAUD! Is the ATMOSPHERE ONLY composed of CO2…then why CLAIM the change of temperature of a mass, of TRACE GAS CO2, now becomes the change in temp of the ENTIRE, GLOBAL CLIMATE SYSTEM?!?! Even if Arrhenius was right, ANY CHANGE obtained from his formula, is EXCLUSIVELY a change of temperature of the MASS of CO2, NOT of the ENTIRE ARMOSPHERE!!!
    THERMAL DIFFUSION of CO2 shows it LOSES the ENERGY, absorbed almost instantaneously, leaving NO PLACE for any kind of STORAGE of THERMAL ENERGY by CO2, in our ATMOSPHERE! SUN ANGLE, which affects BACK RADIATION through WATER VAPOR, increases ATMOSPHERIC TEMP…the effect of BACK RADIATION through WATER VAPOR, is as high as 200 TIMES that of CO2, and WORKS CONVERSELY. Therefore, CO2 has a NEGLIGIBLE EFFECT (if any) on ATMOSPHERIC TEMP and CLIMATE…limiting its consumption will have, as NEGLIGIBLE of an effect!
    The planet has shown itself to be FAR LESS sensitive to increases in CO2 than the CLIMATE MODELS suggest, and much more sensitive to CLIMATE ENGINEERING our ATMOSPHERE, INJECTING AEROSOLS, AND OTHER CHARGED PARTICLES (to include military/civilian rockets, craft/vehicle's and munitions exhaust/pollutants as particles) comprised of METALS AND TOXIC CHEMICALS, such as BARIUM, NICKLE CARBONYL, SULFUR OXIDES, SULFUR HEXAFLURIDE, BROMOTRIFLUOROMETHANE, etc…to then PERTURBATE these POLLUTANT/AEROSOL particles into our ATMOSPHERE…utilizing HIGH POWER RADIO WAVES (HAARP, Arecibo Arecibo, EISCAT, Tromso, etc.) from SPACE, and GROUND STATIONS! Consequently, creating Secondary Organic AEROSOLS (SOAs), combined with CARBONACEOUS (PFOS) AEROSOLS…both, major component of our 'FINE-PARTICLE-POLLUTION, and the most likely contributing factor to CLIMATE CHANGE!!!
    SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO2) itself is a POLLUTANT, and major culprit in the deposition of ACID RAIN, and our CLIMATE CHANGE. SO2 is a dense, colorless, TOXIC, non-flammable gas, which oxidizes, via several chemical pathways, to SULFUR TRIOXIDE (SO3). At normal temperature and pressure, oxygen-rich SO3 is liquid…however, it is highly REACTIVE in the ATMOSPHERE, combining with WATER VAPOR/droplets to produce SULFURIC ACID DEPOSITION (H2SO4), know better as ACID RAIN! The source of the increased RAINFALL ACIDITY is NOT industrial emissions of SULFUR DIOXIDE alone, but SULFATE AEROSOLS/POLLUTION often carried several hundred kilometers from where "INJECTED."
    ACID PRECIPITATION accelerates exchange processes at all surfaces, and causes leaching and mobilization of metal ions (especially Ca, Mg, Al, Mn, Fe, and Zn) from soils, and bedrock…both aquatic, and terrestrial ecosystems have been affected by acidification, but the most obvious effects to date are on freshwater systems.
    Since the 1960's, collection of rainfall at recording stations has led to the recognition that the chemistry of the rain has changed…especially in its increasing SULFATE and hydrogen ion content…the pH decreased, and areas receiving ACIDIC RAIN have expanded. INORGANIC ACIDITY contribute to the acidity of the rain, with SULFURIC ACIDS and nitric acids accounting for 95% of this acidity…SULFURIC contributing 2.5 to 3 times more than nitric!
    The concentration of SULFUR DIOXIDE in clean air is around 0.01 ppm or less but in heavily "sprayed" (INJECTED; then PERTURBATED), "POLLUTED" urban environments, the concentration RISES to between 0.1ppm and 2ppm…10 to 200 FOLD INCREASE! Most fossil fuels (including aviation/jet fuel) have SULFUR, and when burned, COMBINES with oxygen to generate SULFUR OXIDES.
    Over exposure to SULFUR can DAMAGE the internal ENZYME SYSTEMS of humans/animals. SULFUR can also cause IRRITATIONS of the eyes, and throat when INHALED, while in the GASEOUS PHASE. Due to the possibilities of DESTRUCTION, of the SULFUR BONDS, the DAMAGING EFFECTS of SULFUR is mostly BRAIN DAMAGE…through malfunctioning of the HYPOTHALAMUS, and DAMAGE to the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Research has indicated, SULFUR can cause SERIOUS VASCULAR DAMAGE in veins of the BRAINS, the HEART and KIDNEYS…these tests have also indicated, certain forms of SULFUR can cause FETAL DAMAGE, and CONGENITAL EFFECTS…MOTHERS can even CARRY SUFUR POISONING over to their CHILDREN, through BREAST MILK!
    Most scientists studying our CLIMATE are "experts" in only a small area, and not aware of Earth’s overall climate system nor of the endless research studies, projects and implementations of different technologies/techniques being developed and utilized. Sets of EMPIRICAL DATA have been collected, and connected in new ways to give a coherent, and logical illustration, to better understand our atmosphere, climate system, and how human manipulation (CLIMATE ENGINEERING) and pollution, affects the entire micro to macro-system.
    Existing international law only imposes a few procedural duties, on States who are responsible for CLIMATE ENGINEERING field research as well as a handful of particular prohibitions, and constraints. These “CLIMATE ENGINEERING” / “GEOENGINEERING” methods pose a far greater risk to humans, and the environment, than any current law/regulation could curtail…and far, far beyond any wishful outcome, associated with manipulating our CLIMATE SYSTEM!!!
    Stratospheric GEOENGINEERING with SULFATE AEROSOLS, is the most prolific and significant factor, in Secondary Organic AEROSOL (SOA and PFOS) FINE-PARTICLE-POLLUTION, and CLIMATE CHANGE itself!

16. keep working on your presentation skills. one day you might give a professional impression.

17. NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

18. Methane is like 1.8ppmv of the atmosphere. And people are gullible enough to believe it's causing global warming?
