If that rate kept up, year 2100 methane would be at about 2500 ppb up there..<br />But by judging from rate of new record levels seen The steady rise is not even close to a viable idea.<br />And the amount of methane potential for release is massive to the nth degree considering such short time period as the 87 years till turn of century..<br />The inversion layer for heat at top of Stratosphere -Its concentration of Methane is following trajectory of anomaly increase not a straight line.Dale Lananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409842680440987251noreply@blogger.com
