I just heard about a jump in atmospheric methane that is not understood.
The oil/gas industry has made some progress to curtail methane emissions so we don't think it is that gang.
I wonder about millions of tons of frozen ancient vegetation in Canada and Russia beginning to rot. ?
One idea is that we have hit the true "terminus" point of the past ice age and temperatures will rise rapidly over the next few decades and then stabilize at the new "normal".
Human CO2 might have pushed temps up but this could be much bigger than we expected.
