The real climate tipping point is right around the corner — the day when a majority of scientists see that Earth weather patterns and climate are ruled by electric and magnetic mechanisms caused by outside forcing from solar, lunar, and cosmic sources.

In a December 30, 2010 Financial Post article, where Lawrence Solomon pointed out a major flaw in one source for the claim that there is a «97 % scientific consensus» on man - caused global warming, he said the following about a group of supposedly «climate specialist» scientists:

«We have to control methane immediately, and natural gas is the largest methane pollution source in the United States,» says Cornell University marine biologist Robert Howarth, who claims that human - caused methane production, if not forcibly curtailed, will push Earth's temperature beyond the point of no return.

It is I argue not a traditional Pigovian tax — intended to compensate the injured — but instead intended to cause a substitution of energy sources at some price point.

RealClimate is wonderful, and an excellent source of reliable information.As I've said before, methane is an extremely dangerous component to global warming.Comment # 20 is correct.There is a sharp melting point to frozen methane.A huge increase in the release of methane could happen within the next 50 years.At what point in the Earth's temperature rise and the rise of co2 would a huge methane melt occur?No one has answered that definitive issue.If I ask you all at what point would huge amounts of extra methane start melting, i.e at what temperature rise of the ocean near the Artic methane ice deposits would the methane melt, or at what point in the rise of co2 concentrations in the atmosphere would the methane melt, I believe that no one could currently tell me the actual answer as to where the sharp melting point exists.Of course, once that tipping point has been reached, and billions of tons of methane outgass from what had been locked stores of methane, locked away for an eternity, it is exactly the same as the burning of stored fossil fuels which have been stored for an eternity as well.And even though methane does not have as long a life as co2, while it is around in the air it can cause other tipping points, i.e. permafrost melting, to arrive much sooner.I will reiterate what I've said before on this and other sites.Methane is a hugely underreported, underestimated risk.How about RealClimate attempts to model exactly what would happen to other tipping points, such as the melting permafrost, if indeed a huge increase in the melting of the methal hydrate ice WERE to occur within the next 50 years.My amateur guess is that the huge, albeit temporary, increase in methane over even three or four decades might push other relevent tipping points to arrive much, much, sooner than they normally would, thereby vastly incresing negative feedback mechanisms.We KNOW that quick, huge, changes occured in the Earth's climate in the past.See other relevent posts in the past from Realclimate.Climate often does not change slowly, but undergoes huge, quick, changes periodically, due to negative feedbacks accumulating, and tipping the climate to a quick change.Why should the danger from huge potential methane releases be vievwed with any less trepidation?

If one wants to argue that human CO2 is not causing the increases then one must show that some sort of feedback system exists that regulates the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (i.e. the natural sources / sinks adapt dynamically to ensure that the CO2 level stays at some «set point» which could change over time).
