Date: May 16, 2007 12:21AM The dangers of global warming may be much greater than the conservative estimates generally given:
[www.countercurrents.org] Also: Warming the fuel for the fire: Evidence for the thermal dissociation of methane hydrate during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum Deborah J. Thomas, Department of Geological Sciences, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599-3315, USA, et al. Pages 1067-1070. The Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) was a dramatic global warming event that occurred approximately 55 million years ago. The warming is believed to have been the result of a massive input of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) released from frozen hydrate reservoirs in deep-sea sediments, based on a pronounced change in the isotopic composition of carbon throughout marine and terrestrial reservoirs. However, geologists have been unable to test this hypothesis using traditional records. We present new data based on analyses of the oxygen and carbon composition of individual marine microfossils from a location off the coast of Antarctica (Ocean Drilling Program Site 690, Maud Rise). These data demonstrate that the initial change in carbon isotopes occurred in a geologic instant and was preceded by a brief period of gradual surface water warming. Both of these findings support the thermal dissociation of methane hydrate as the cause of the PETM carbon isotope change. Furthermore, the data reveal that the methane-derived carbon was mixed from the waters of the surface ocean down to the bottom of the oceans. Such a progression implies a rapid and major release of methane that permitted a significant fraction of the initial dissociated hydrate methane to reach the atmosphere prior to oxidation.
