Thirteen years ago, an emotional interview with geophysicist Natalia Shakhova raised alarm about the Siberian clathrate gun hypothesis. A clathrate is a crystalline solid in which methane molecules are trapped within a lattice of ice under high pressure and low temperature. As the Earth’s surface warms, Siberian permafrost thaws and releases methane, whose radiative forcing potential is roughly 80 times that of carbon dioxide over a short timescale. This process illustrates a climate feedback loop: global warming triggers the release of trapped greenhouse gases, which in turn amplify the warming and risk a self-reinforcing, potentially runaway scenario. For now, the IPCC considers it "very unlikely" that subsurface clathrates will cause a detectable deviation from expected emission trajectories this century, but the underlying science remains uncertain and under active study. A related concern has now emerged from Seabrook et al. (2025), who report newly identified methane seeps emanating from the seabed of Antarctica’s Southern Ocean. These seeps were absent in earlier surveys, suggesting they may stem from recent environmental changes (possibly the dissolution of methane hydrates or tectonic rebound following glacial melt). Those developments warrant close attention as they could challenge, and potentially worsen, the 21st-century climate scenarios (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, or SSPs) currently used in global policy making.

This is wild. Feels like China doesn’t get enough credit for actually building these climate solutions for us…

Drawdown just launched Explorer, which seems to be obviously the best source of information about climate solutions that has ever existed. It's magnificent. I need every LLM to ingest this info immediately. https://drawdown.org/explorer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t79p7VZh3Qs

Ooof just absolutely awful: “”” Independent soil testing conducted by The Times provided the first evidence in May that Army Corps crews were leaving behind lead contamination. Subsequent tests by a UCLA research group also found that 49% of the cleaned properties were still contaminated with lead. “If those numbers hold, this will be the worst cleanup that I’m aware of in wildfire history,” said Andrew Whelton, a professor of civil environmental engineering at Purdue University. “The purpose of cleaning up is to remove the contamination from the site and restore it to safe use so that you don’t get sick and the economic value of the land is returned.” https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=7c16977f-cf6b-4a7d-a8c5-080f2a84d022

I really want a weirdness index tracking how out of normal events like the Dallas flight delays this weekend due to thunderstorms or the many other recent events like the linked stuff in the NE are https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2025/01/21/flight-canceled-delayed-tuesday-passenger-rights/77826676007/

“A regime shift has reduced Antarctic sea-ice extent far below its natural variability of past centuries, and in some respects is more abrupt, non-linear and potentially irreversible than Arctic sea-ice loss.. A marked slowdown in Antarctic Overturning Circulation is expected to intensify this century and may be faster than the anticipated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation slowdown.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09349-5

Back in 2015, various meteorological modelling exercises for 2050 produced extreme heat scenarios like this. Except this isn’t a model, it’s today’s temperature chart for southern France & the Iberian Peninsula. We're so cooked 🔥
