Global warming may go critical by mid-century, meaning at minimum we
lose Bangladesh and worst case we see something akin to the
methane-hydrate-release scenario adverted to here in 2007. Quickly:
frozen ocean methane melts due to rising temps, leading to massive
atmospheric buildup and your classic hockey-stick warming spike. Such an
event may have tripped the Permian extinction 251 million years ago,
when perhaps 95 percent of planetary species were wiped out. Early
reports suggest elevated methane release may have already begun.
