No. Most methane calthrate exists at depths and pressures that will not be effected by warming for hundreds to thousands of years.
The calthrate gun would more likely be the result of volcanic or continental landslides that mix warm surface water with disturbed sediments.
This is probably a product of local geological activity.
- flukus 7y ago> No. Most methane calthrate exists at depths and pressures that will not be effected by warming for hundreds to thousands of years. The calthrate gun is on geological timescales, if we've created enough warming for the reaction to become self sustaining (releases create more warming, creating more releases) over thousands of years then we have fired the gun.
