Wikipedia has a good article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_Thermal_Maximum#Methane_release.<br /><br />Briefly, this is a period of rapid (by geologic standards) global warming of about 6C. Causes are still hotly debated. Interesting for a number of reasons, including what happens to living things when you rapidly heat the planet, and interesting, as is the case here, to people trying to quantify carbon-cycle feedbacks and other effects of global warming.<br /><br />Probably warrants a post in itself: "The Benginners' Guide to the PETM."TheTrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011829472333355911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-2719624806181043422012-09-10T23:11:40.070-07:002012-09-10T23:11:40.070-07:00Hello, Chris, what is PETM, exactly? =)Hello, Chris, what is PETM, exactly? =)Steve L.http://youtube.com/user/AlternateSteve90noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-82573324480037848382012-05-24T02:07:02.467-07:002012-05-24T02:07:02.467-07:00I want to thank the blogger very much not only for...I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts.

We know the Arctic was damned warm at various points in the past, including as recently as the mid-Pliocene. A+T were trying to explain how that could be given that the current generation of models can't explain it. IOW, the models are missing a physical mechanism that's not obvious in the paleo record. Things other than convection are possible, but which one are you suggesting should provide us comfort?<br /><br />Re Dave's POV on the Arctic methane deposits, note how careful he is to speak in terms of likely changes over the next century. Consider that most of that ESAS carbon is in Pleistocene deposits that would not long survive a return to anything like mid-Pliocene conditions (which note we are probably already committed to). The view that such things are less worrisome if they don't happen to us or people we know is dnagerous thinking IMHO. I realize Dave's underlying point is that we're in deep doo-doo without the ESAS methane, but I really don't like the way his argument tends to bolster the "What? Me worry?" crowd.Steve Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943109973917998380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-81183005776423600792012-01-25T10:16:14.670-08:002012-01-25T10:16:14.670-08:00Ah, I see Abbot and Tzipperman has got to you as w...Ah, I see Abbot and Tzipperman has got to you as well. It's one of the most quietly scary papers I've read.<br /><br />Still I disagree - if there is a highly convective state in the Arctic awaiting us then it surely would have been a player in the PETM. Your scenario didn't happen in the PETM.
