soay said in part.....
" Once the temperature rises enough to melt the permafrosts, which is already happening in Alaska and Siberia, the methane trapped beneath them is released, in a positive feedback cycle. Methane is apparently about 20 times as effective a greenhouse gas as CO2, partly because it remains in the atmosphere for much longer."

Firstly where is the actual data and not hysterical Greenie Hyped claptrap?
Take one substantiated fact. Since 1750 the Anthropogenic CO2 added to the planet's atmosphere is barely one 10,000th part. Do you really believe adding 1/10,000th part to atmospheric gases is really affecting our climate. Which is and always has been variable.
Maybe, just maybe, the Sun has more effect and not garbage in - garbage out computer climate modeling [ ever seen a weather forecast accurate to more than a few days at best [in the UK]?
