The 400 PPM is a target that is easy for humans to discuss. The general idea that increased atmospheric CO2 leads to accelerated methane releases due to thawing of arctic permafrost still holds true, and humans need to set CO2 targets to mitigate this issue.
- assblaster 7y agoWhat's implied with a 400 CO2 level is that anything under that is fine, but above that level it triggers a calamitous increase increase methane and a so called runaway greenhouse effect. This is simply not accurate, especially because the clathrates can release methane far below 400ppm. The CO2 level should be far lower than 400... A level closer to 200ppm should be the target.
