Is there an estimated timeframe on approximately when this will happen?
- irrational 6y agoIsn’t it already happening? Is that what is creating the huge methane explosions and craters in Siberia?
- samiru 6y agoYes. Check the Yamal Peninsula in Google Maps and you realize this kind of cratering is a process that has been going on for thousands of years (since the ice age really!).
- knowaveragejoe 6y agoThe scary part is that it's accelerating in on a timescale that's relevant to our needs as a species.

- omgwtfbyobbq 6y agoI think the largest deposits would take thousands of years to be affected, but there are shallow deposits that could be released, especially those near glaciers, where the glacier melting allows the nearby seabed to rise. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis
