  • Record melting in northern Greenland and the widespread release of methane gas from formerly frozen deposits off the Siberian coast suggest that major changes are sweeping the Arctic
  • The study found methane bubbling up from the seafloor over hundreds of square kilometres in the Laptev and East Siberian Seas
  • Water measurements indicate that methane concentrations were up to 200 times higher than the background levels
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The submerged permafrost is on the threshold of melting, and air temperatures in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf have increased by as much as five degrees Celsius over the last decade
  • In most summers, temperatures rise enough to permit melting in that region on only 10–15 days on average. But in 2008, the melt period totalled 35 days.
  • Estimates based on satellite measurements of the entire ice cap suggest that the island is now losing hundreds of billions of tons of ice each year.

  • Every outbreak of violence has its own distinctive origins and characteristics. All, however, are driven by a similar combination of anxiety about the future and lack of confidence in the ability of established institutions to deal with the problems at hand.
  • The riots that erupted in the spring of 2008 in response to rising food prices suggested the speed with which economically related violence can spread.
  • The cost of food is now closely tied to the price of oil and natural gas because petrochemicals are so widely and heavily used in the cultivation of grains

  • during the last period of high CO2, 125,000 years ago, temperatures were up to 10.8F(6C) higher than present day levels. Such a hike in temperature could lead to a rise in sea levels of between 13 to 20ft (4 to 6 m) over hundreds of years as the ice sheets melt.
  • the study suggests that current high levels of CO2 could also cause a rise in temperature
  • massive droughts, extinction of species and sea level rise

  • the proportion of fossil fuel emissions absorbed by the oceans since 2000 may have declined by as much as 10 per cent
