Bubble, Bubble. GigaTons of Methane Trouble // Published on Jun 28, 2017
Vast amounts of methane exists within ocean floor sediments on the Eastern Siberian Arctic Shelf, in the form of methane hydrates & free methane gas.
Up to recently, gas release to the shallow water column (50 meters deep) and atmosphere has been slow, with the subsea permafrost acting as a million corks on a million champagne bottles to contain the methane.
Now, rapid thawing of the permafrost has released 10% of the corks, allowing rapid ongoing increases in methane release.

Easier to cut to the chase without all the rest: The ESAS permafrost is increasingly melting and releasing increasing amounts of methane the process is continuing! End of story in two lines!

Bearing of direction of escape from absolute nature of entropy rise, closed system is open nature, or rather a snap of awareness of danger present and that the world should be working full tilt for trying to register a best business correction to the purpose of work so showdown goes full tilt for ~
It, in my mind is simple application of best use of time .. given the absolute nature of entropy rise.
Earth is asking for help to remain in habitable zone so life can go on by thought for all hands on deck
