Comment on Give us your craziest ocean facts. 🦑
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 days agoWell at least there’s not a fuckton of methane hydrates on the ocean floor that are now releasing a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than CO2 refrom the ocean floor as the water gets warmer. And that isn’t a self-feeding loop that means it’s probably too late to save ourselves now.
Because that would be bad.

Methane at least breaks down faster than CO2. Heavier, so stronger effects, but at least the CH4 methane breaks down after a decade or so instead of centuries.
