Did you mean to write "if it keeps speeding up"? Because it is most definitely happening, it is speeding up [1], and it doesn't look likely to slow down.

- spacemark 5y agoThe fact that it's happening isn't being disputed. The prediction that it will be catastrophic is. The NASA article you linked is reputable, but pay attention to what it actually says - it makes no predictions of impact severity. What the article DOES say: methane is responsible for 1/4 of all global warming, it's increased 9% in the last decade, and 250% in the last 17 decades (avg 15%/year).
