As the ice declines, ever more sunlight gets absorbed by the Arctic Ocean. This is one out of numerous feedbacks that are hitting the Arctic. The danger is that, as these feedbacks start to kick in more, heat will reach the seafloor of the Arctic Ocean and trigger methane to be released in huge quantities from the Arctic Ocean seabed.<br /><br />Recently, an abrupt methane release from the Arctic Ocean seafloor did enter the atmosphere over the East Siberian Sea, showing up with levels as high as 2578 ppb (at 586 mb on May 15, 2016, pm, see image below). Such abrupt releases are indications that methane hydrates are destabilizing and are warnings that climate catastrophe is waiting to happen. <br /><br />From the post <a href="http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2016/05/further-confirmation-of-arctic-sea-ice-dramatic-fall.html" rel="nofollow">Further Confirmation Of Arctic Sea Ice Dramatic Fall</a>.Sam Caranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376449209858411775noreply@blogger.com
