Some sidenotes I didn't get to add in the video: -Tundra permafrost melting is definitely a contributor too but from the data in the paper it seems the wetlands are adding larger amounts in comparison. -Increase in farmland in countries like Brazil is a contributor too but it's not growing large enough compared to the data -This is the first study majorly addressing this, so it's still not clear what's happening -The methane data seems to be very robust and was reported in other papers using other observations so the jump is real -Methane correlates with solar activity as well (check out Neptune video below) and the Sun is becoming super active, so it may skew the data downward...suggesting the levels may go up even higher after 2026...maybe -CO2 is still an issue too and will be making things even worse. It's also what probably started all of this. Internal studies conducted by oil companies in the 1960s/1970s literally predicted all of this. They just cared about profits more: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0063 Neptune and methane: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGSumMipdsjOqaQ.html

We're certainly not in a global warming phase, not at all. If you look at the Greenland ice core sample graphs, they show earth's temperature for the last million years, and most of it was WAY higher than it is now. We also have to keep in mind that the habitable zone constantly changes on earth. Arctic areas used to be lush and green. So when we measure changes in climate, we can't just say "Oh it's hotter here where people live now, so it's man made climate change". No. Forests have turned to deserts, and deserts have turned to forests. The metrics being pushed by climate alarmism are completely cherry picked and distorted from reality. And the worst part is it could doom the entire species, because if we start pushing for "renewable" power sources like solar, in a world that is turned into an ice ball, there's no way we'll generate enough energy to save ourselves. The deep freeze will hit and these "green" energy sources will become virtually useless, because you're not running solar panels in a world full of ice and deep snow. Any solar fields would become quickly useless as they would be buried in snow, and not receive much sunlight even if they weren't buried, because of all the cloud cover from ice particles in the atmosphere. The only thing that can save us at the point is either nuclear power or fossil fuels. Some people think fusion will be the answer, but it won't, because we don't have enough of the required elements on earth to actually make them work....and never will. So unless we have some kind of anti matter breakthrough where we can synthesize it, fossil fuels are going to be the most useful for a freezing world. There are wave based generators that show promise, but those go out the window in a frozen world, because if the surface of the ocean is frozen, you no longer have waves nor access to run these generators, and you would need a LOT of them.

I wonder if it could be related to human activity. First, humans had been draining or otherwise destroying a lot of wetlands over the last hundred years (for crops, pasture, removing hazards to people and livestock, control mosquitoes, housing, or reducing beaver that can create some wetlands). I think of this every time I see that Lassie meme about thinking quicksand would be a a bigger problem growing up. However, recent decades have seen green initiatives to restore wetlands but agricultural runoff of topsoil and fertilizer might cause eutrophication as well. I've noticed more trees than usual have been blown down onto the road in a certain area in recent years and I realized most of those trees are about the same age because many were planted at the same time because the area was restored to parkland several decades ago.

That's why we (I'm a physicist) are using statistics and sigma, that's why the engineers are building safety systems and redundant systems which make the final product many times more expensive. The problem is the public doesn't understand that incertitude is a built-in feature of science and there's no way to express our opinions to the untrained public without looking like idiots.

"For some reason something started happening to methane around 2006..." My first thought is permafrost melt releasing enormous amounts of methane directly into the atmosphere. There are millions of little boiling lakes all over far northern Canada and Siberia bubbling away. Think of all the sequestered dead organic matter suddenly being on the menu for microorganisms all over the arctic tundra as the sun comes out.

There is a LOT of politics involved with the methane released from permafrost melting. PBS did a special on a huge sinkhole opening in eastern Siberia, and talked about all the gases escaping, and then inexplicably ignored the fact that there wasn't just one sinkhole releasing gases, but literally thousands. Likewise, there is a huge excavation going on in Alaska, and there's a lot of melting going in, even deep in the tunnels (the air is warm enough to cause melting). A hundred thousand years ago, most of Siberia was marsh and wetlands -- the SAME environment as in Africa. The fact that PBS Nova would document one huge sinkhole, and subtly imply it was an isolated incident is terribly disturbing, for when science is "bent" to political pressures, it makes it hard to make good decisions. There are hints, too, that during colder periods some methane pockets sank into the North Pacific, and as the ocean warms, the pockets of gas will get released, adding to the warming.

Ive never understood the "cow fart" theory due to the fact that all of the cattle on the planet are a small portion of the vast roaming herds that once dwelled on the planet.

It's nice to hear someone talk about this topic without dragging politics into it! Thank you!

Methane hydrate is found as a ice-like deposit in ocean waters within a range of pressure (depth) and temperatures. It seems plausible to me that even small increases in temperature at these depths could result in the release of significant amount of methane from this reservoir. It would also be hard to estimate the amount that is released given the difficulty in determining temperatures over the extended range methane hydrate is found.

Methane hydrates on the out continental shelf are indeed some of the largest methane deposits on our planet. They are also subject to becoming unstable if their ambient temperature were to rise to a level where they would subliminate into a gas. However, you are mistaken in that we don't know what the current temperatures of the continental shelves are and that we do not know what temperatures that gas hydrates would sublimate. Anyone that has ever looked at a ternary eutectic diagram for the ocean geochemistry can see exactly what would be required. Suffice it for the moment to say we have not reached that point for sublimation as of now. The entire question of modeling is subject to chaotic evolution of the physical systems and therefore not readily possible to create a reliable model based on available data, What we do know is that, as this video spoke of and documented, the planet is in an usually cool state right now compared to long term and holocene paleo climates. We should expect to see warming regardless of anthropamorphic cause or not. It is totally arbitrary to pick an "ideal" temperature target simply based what it was 20, 50, 100, 500, or even a few 1000 years ago. Further, what to do about warming (regardless of a chosen target) is a policy question, with available choices depending on current and future technologies. Remember, that just 50 years ago, it was claimed that the earth had reached its population limit and was about to see the entire ecosystem collapse from over population. That was a population of a bit under 4 billion. Now we have double that and now we produce enough food to actually feed everyone (if it was efficiently distributed). Trying to solve tomorrows problems with today's technology is costly and largely doomed to failure. It would be like trying to build bigger jet planes to get to the moon instead of developing rocketry. Or like 1920s food production trying to address global food shortages based on projected population growth. This is why we need much more policy debates on climate change rather that arguing about if it is happening and why. It does not matter why, and even if everyone agrees it is happening (afterall, by definition climate is always changing over time .. static climates are dead planets like venus and mars). What matters is what policy choices wse make to deal with it. Do we embrace technologic programs to adapt for the change. I happen to think that is more practical and cheaper than trying to stop the change from happening (we can't in the long turn due to geologic and geochemical forces). Maybe I am wrong .,. but that is exactly why policy debate on how to deal with it is needed even though it is basically totally ignored by climate fanatics who insist we must stop change from happening, Remember, the most abundant atmospheric green house gas is never even spoken about .. it is (according to NASA and all other scientific sources) .... WATER VAPOR. Yep, water vapor dwarfs all other atmospheric green house gases. Yet you never hear anyone advocating to control water vapor!

Interesting. I wish people discussed this more technically and seriously instead of directly aiming for a one line jokes...

A long time ago, I read about massive methane hydrate deposits in the ocean, which are held in place by pressure and cold temperatures, the pressure hasn't changed, but the ocean has absorbed 90% of the excess heat so far (very luckily for us). With rising ocean temperatures (I don't know how deep these go though), it makes sense that this is a possible source...

The question I have is, does the wet bulb have any part in triggering the cool down? With the amount of water taken out of the oceans to be frozen on land, there had to be a mechanism to feed that much ice growth.

I so respect the integrity of your work. Thank you.

Finally someone covering glaciation. I have to bring this up a lot. We are in an Interglaciation period, where glaciers are in retreat. Though I think the video fails to note that it is believed that the trend of Ice Ages started roughly 30 million years ago, not 2-3 million. Though over that period we went in and out of Ice Ages, where permanent glaciers were no longer around. So the current Ice Age (which we are still in) started in the 2-3 million year range like you talked about in this video.

Something I've been wandering about cattle and their contribution to atmospheric methane; how many domesticated cattle are there compared to the former great herds of bison, buffalo, and other large grazing animals? The buffalo were all but wiped out in North America, the bison greatly reduced in Asia and Europe, and even in Africa the number of wildebeest have been significantly reduced. Once we know those numbers, we could compare the methane emissions of those animals against the methane emissions of domestic cattle. If those numbers are roughly equal (which I suspect they are), how can we keep yammering on about the danger of cow farts? If the former great herds of grazing animals didn't cause drastic climate change should we really be that concerned about the atmospheric impact of cows?

When this diverts, the gulf stream can and has collapsed entirely, pulling colder temperatures from the arctic circle down to irregular latitudes, which will cause greatly colder temperatures to spread into latitudes that elsewhere on the globe are consistently frozen without their own gulf stream. BC benefits from the equivalent warm Japan current, which functions in the same way as the gulf stream, and is subject to the same risk of collapse.

2006 was the beginning of fracking for shale gas, which is known to be a leaky process. Perhaps leakage is greater than recognized? Perhaps whole entire shale layers could be drilled, fracked and drained all simultaneously, over a wide area, so as to maximize gas capture and minimize leakage? If so, that would also reduce risks associated with leakage.

The Holocene is an interglacial period within the Quaternary Ice Age. The spikes on the chart are the interglacials and the We are at the top of the spike that is the Holocene. The last termination of a glacial period occurred over twelve thousand years ago and resulted in the present Holocene warm period. We can't now have the sort of "termination event" that terminates a glacial period and produces an interglacial because we are still in the middle of a full-on interglacial (the Holocene aforesaid). To have a ""termination event" within a warm period would representing the ending of an interglacial warm period in favor of what? A double interglacial? A super warm period? Or the end of the Quaternary ice age and the whole era of glaciations and interglacials? Whatever you call it it is *not* simply consistent with the patterns on the chart shown. Instead it could represent, as the paper suggests, something new, potentially, as some others have suggested, AN OUTIGHT END TO THE QUATERNARY ICE AGE, which the earth has been in for two and a half million years.

Great video! I appreciate your sense of humor. I will probably also have to “buy a bigger fan.” 😅

I read a discover article years ago that mentioned methane hydrates on the ocean floor, and that as the ocean warms (thereby reducing the pressure holding some of the methane down), methane ‘burps’ can become more frequent and release more methane like a self reinforcing feedback loop. Also I recall climate scientist and ASU professor guy macpherson has mentioned this as well

Yup. It's been implicated in the Permian-Triassic extinction.

Hello Anton !! I love your channel, always informative and intriguing...We are never to old to stop learning and being only 74, I look forward to something new everyday that I didn't know the day before. Your common sense approach to the science of our warming planet verses politicizing global warming, brings truth to the subject...Thank you so much !!

The largest stockpile of decaying organic matter with the potential to explain the numbers just so happens to be somewhere we cant go. The bottom of the ocean is huge and largely unexplored.

Oh good i was hopeing to go skiing again

Hopefully this means we get some fresh powdah

8:54 seems to indicate that melting ice is not human-caused, or at least not related to what we typically call man-made climate change. That is, assuming there’s not some invisible vertical line at the end of the graph. The ice volume is not falling as fast as it did in previous cycles and seems constant. For the individual graphs, it seems like the temperature was lower in the last 10-20 thousand years than there should have been. The one that says “Ice Volume” seems like it is sitting around for as long as the hump from 400 million years ago and sitting around longer than the other humps. If it is man-made, then it must be something simple like agriculture or burning wood and coal. In other words, one thing we will never replace and one thing that is difficult or impossible to replace. The man-made climate change we always hear about is from 200 years ago and onward, from the Industrial Revolution onward. It doesn’t make sense. It also doesn’t make sense to say the global temperature is warming faster than ever before. We have measurements for only a few hundred years in the past if even that much. The rest would be inferred from methods that probably do not have a resolution of 10 years or even 100 years. How can you compare the rate of change in recent history to the rate of change in the distant past which could have sudden jumps and declines in temperature over a period of a few years which we can’t capture?
