And they have also come up with a new twist about why it stopped warming or rather its paused. The oceans have absorbed the heat. But like the methane thing, they are warning with dire predictions that it can't take any more rather guessing it can't take anymore.
All these theories.
No hard facts.
Face it, like the ice age was coming in the 70's, which never happened, this too, like a case of bad diahrrea, this too shall pass.
How many peer reviewed studies from the 70's were claiming that another ice age was initiating?
Global warming is boring now. It's the atheist equivalent of some homeless guy holding a sign that says The End is Near.... for the past several decades
Anyway, I'm not going to believe this until a retired weatherman puts it in his blog. Blogs by laymen are where the cutting edge research is being done, and I'm all about sticking to the science.
"The event, which scientists are calling a "methane burp" could advance global warming by 15 to 35 years at any moment. Arctic researcher Natalia Shakohova of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, told New Scientist that this release is "highly possible at any time." More than a trillion tonnes of methane are trapped under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, and much more could be under the entire Arctic. A decade of ice melt and warming seas will trigger a climate catastrophe, the researchers said, releasing up to 50 billion tonnes of the potent greenhouse gas."
Blame any warming in the Arctic on changing ocean currents and wind patterns, not on CO2. It's a local weather phenomenon, not the global climate.

This isn't new or a twist, it has been known as a consequence to melting ice.
Yep, coming up on the arctic minimum, typical activist crap each year, its like clockwork.
