One more bad news, global warming also brings a potential catastrophe for our planet, namely the melting of methane hydrates: frozen methane stored in the form of ice. The numbers were staggering: 3,000 times that of methane that currently exist in the atmosphere. Planet earth kept frozen methane in large quantities called methane hydrates, or methane clathrates. Methane hydrates are found mostly in the north pole and south pole, where water temperatures less than 0 degrees Celsius, or the seabed at a depth of more than 300 meters, where the water temperature in the range of 20 Celsius.
Methane hydrates are also found in deep lakes like Lake Baikal in Siberia. Methane is a greenhouse gas emissions 23 times more violent than carbon dioxide (CO2), which means that this gas is very bad for the contributors to the ongoing global warming. The bad news is global warming making the temperature of ice in the polar north and south poles to be getting hotter, so the methane stored in the frozen layer of ice on both poles are also liberated into the atmosphere. Scientists estimate that the Antarctic save approximately 400 billion tons of methane frozen, and this gas is released slowly into the atmosphere along with the many parts of the ice in Antarctica which collapsed. You can imagine how horrible this situation: If Antarctic ice loss of the entire layer, then the 400 billion tons of methane will be released into the atmosphere! This does not include frozen methane that are stored on the seabed which is also threatened because more heat melting temperature of the oceans due to global warming.
Once triggered, this cycle will result in global warming is so severe that may be synchronized with the Resurrection! Is this a fantasy invented by environmental activists and scientists paranoid? Unfortunately not. Geological evidence of a strong state was at least twice our planet experiencing this event. The geologists found that this great catastrophe had occurred approximately 55 million years ago, called by scientists as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). When it bursts of methane rising to the surface resulting in warming the planet very quickly and cause mass death, and then disturb the climate of the earth.
Eternal Ice Thawing in Siberia: the Global Climate Crisis Worried Kian
West Siberian region has an area of muddy pond area of France and Germany are frozen by the eternal ice. This area contains not less than 70 billion tons of methane frozen in it!
Sergei Kirpotin researchers from Tomsk State University in Siberia and Judith Marquand from Oxford University in 2005 reported that one million square kilometers of perennial ice in there has begun to melt. A study published in Nature magazine's seventh edition, written by Katey Walter of the University of Alaska and Jeff Chanton of Florida State University reported that the speed of the process of release of methane into the air because of melting ice in Siberia was reached five times faster than scientists expected previously.
As we know, methane has a greenhouse gas emissions 23 times worse than CO2. More methane is released into the atmosphere means that global warming is getting worse all we experience. It is time we as citizens of the world to take action to stop all the processes that lead to this destruction.
