I get called an alarmist. And whatever BS, but this report is sickening.

I guess some of the folks reading this want to deny it. But this isn't good. Let's hope this is a seasonal event. And was in response to high end in situ warming and not a long term thaw. But that is not the likely reality.

Can we tell how long this particular methane has been there?

Is there any studies out with their actual measurements?

How long before the Methane shows up on obs like Barrow or Hawaii?

What is the methane forcing formula? Like w/m2 per how much?

Google Igor Semiltov methane also Natalia Shakhova methane

You will find much of the background information needed to bring you up to speed.

I've been following this since they left on their "emergency mission" in September. Didn't expect to hear anything until their report comes out in April, but expected the worst when they answered few questions on their return.

Don't see this as a hockey stick - more like a scythe.
