Re: SC30

Hello Jobe :-) I had seen articles on the recent stabalization of Methane levels. It is an interesting and unexpected development. CO2 levels however are still rising at a rapid rate, as compared to historical levels shown in ice core samples going back around 600,00 years. CO2 is the big player in regards to increased global warming. So if CO2 continues to increase, as it has been in recent decades, then even with stabalized Methane concentrations, world climate change will become even more dramatic, IMHO. The stabalization of worldwide Methane levels. is a perplexing development, given the recent developments, due to global warming, like the dramatic thawing of permafrost in the Northern Hemisphere, which holds vast amounts of frozen biomaterial, which is expected to produce prodigious amounts of Methane, as all this material thaws, and begins to decompose, producing Methane as a by product. Climate is certainly a complex puzzle, and I'm certain there will be more supprises to come, as time goes by, and various unpredictable elements come in to play. In regards to your reference to " whats going on higher in the atmosphere ", what were you referring to when you wrote " I think they will be very surprised to find what is going on up there. ", just curious :-)
