But based on that data, they estimate that emissions from abandoned wells represents as much as 10 percent of methane from human activities in Pennsylvania — about the same amount as caused by current oil and gas production.
Patrick Crill, an American biogeochemist at Stockholm University, says ice core data from the past 800,000 years, covering about eight glacial and interglacial cycles, show atmospheric methane concentrations between 350 and 800 parts per billion in glacial and interglacial periods, respectively.
«Just one day after oil - friendly state governments complain about efforts to collect methane pollution data, out pops this cancellation,» she said.
Scientists have shared the first data gathered about the Martian atmosphere, including the (so far) disappointing news about methane.
I have posted on RealClimate about 4 times in the past 5 years regarding the potential thaw of the methal hydrate deposits at the bottom of the oceans.I stated in my posts on your website that I believe firmly that those deposits are in quite a good bit of danger of melting from climate change feedback mechanisms.On Nov 8th, ScienceDaily posted a huge new study on the PETM boundary 55 million years ago, and some key data on how the methane at that point may very well have melted and contributed to the massive climate shift.I am an amateur who reads in the new a lot about climate change.I'd now like to say «I told you so!!!»
An example is included in the materials presented by the so - called «Arctic Methane Emergency Group» [AMEG] who show extrapolations of PIOMAS data and warn about the potential of a seasonally ice - free Arctic ocean in just a few years.»
Here's that previous lather - rinse - repeat about scary methane data:
Despite much (valid) concern about amplifying climate - methane feedbacks and leaks from «fracking» activity, the isotopic data suggest that the increase of CH4 emissions is more a result of agricultural emissions.
Using SCIAMACHY satellite data as well as ground - based measurements from 2003 to 2009, researchers found that the region where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah intersect had atmospheric methane concentrations equivalent to about 1.3 million pounds of emissions a year.
For earlier times, we adopt Greenland temperature estimated as follows (33): For the period 128,700 B.P. to 340,000 B.P., this temperature was derived from a proxy based on Antarctic ice core methane data using the relation T = − 51.5 + 0.0802 [CH4 (ppb)-RSB- from a linear regression of Greenland temperature estimates on Antarctic methane for the period 150 B.P. to 122,400 B.P.. For the remaining period of 122,400 B.P. to 128,700 B.P., data from a variety of climate archives indicate that Greenland warming lags that of Antarctica, with rapid warming commencing around 128.5 ky B.P. in the northern North Atlantic and reaching full interglacial levels by about 127 ky B.P. (51).
When a new study about methane comes out, the instinct at RC is a bit too much on the cautious side, even if the relevant data (Shakova, Walter) is solid.
