@Jason_gasdive >5% chance that the 2026 northern summer caused a massive methane and carbon dioxide release. About 5% of the 1700 billion tonnes of carbon has been released. 3/4 as CO2, 1/4 as methane. >the CO2 is equal to 6 years worth of global emissions, but it was sudden, and confined to the northern hemisphere, so mixing with the southern hasn't happened. So northern CO2 jumps to 440 ppm in just a couple of months. >But when the permafrost thawed, it also released methane. Over 20 billion tonnes. Methane is about 100 times stronger as a greenhouse gas. (The 20 times often quoted is over 100 years of decay) Jason (he/him/ia) Ko Jason tāku ingoa >Again, it's mostly in the northern hemisphere and is equivalent to about 200 years of emissions in the northern hemisphere. Essentially fast forwarding into 2230's climate if there had been no reduction in GHG emissions. >The interior of the northern hemisphere continents is immediately fatal to mammals, and most plants. >The temperature difference between the hot land and the cold ocean generates constant sea breeze, that blows at over a hundred km/h.
