How Much Should You Worry About an Arctic Methane Bomb?
2013-08-08 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Desk: It was a stunning figure: $60 trillion. Such could be the cost, according to a recent commentary in the journal Nature, of the release of methane from thawing permafrost beneath the East Siberian Sea, off northern Russiaa figure comparable to the size of the world economy in 2012. More specifically, the paper described a scenario in which rapid Arctic warming and sea ice retreat lead to a pulse of undersea methane being released into the atmosphere. How much methane? The paper modeled a release...

Methane release from Arctic ice thaw an 'economic time bomb'
2013-07-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: A massive release of methane from the Arctic seafloor would have catastrophic impacts on the world's economy, possibly costing $60 trillion or more because of associated problems such as sea-level rise and drought, according to a comment published yesterday in Nature. The $60 trillion -- roughly the size of the entire global economy last year -- considers a 50-gigaton belch of the greenhouse gas over a decadelong period from the East Siberian Sea, where scientists in recent years discovered perforations...

Arctic methane breach an 'economic time bomb.'
2013-07-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Massive leakage of methane from thawing shoreline in the Arctic would devastate the world's climate and economy, a trio of scientists warned on Wednesday. Billions of tonnes of this potent greenhouse gas are locked in the shallow frozen shelf of the Arctic Ocean, which warms when summer sea ice retreats as a result of the greenhouse-gas effect, they said in a contribution to Nature. The team modelled what would happen if 50 billion tonnes, or gigatonnes (Gt), of methane escaped over a decade...
