Well if I knew you didn't even possess a rudimentary understanding of science I wouldn't have bothered to waste my time with you. I will correct this mess of a post but please, I have better things to do than discuss this with the likes of you so do not reply to me any further. Please familiarize yourself with the below link before continue to discuss in any way with any person this subject again:We are not close to 300ppm CO2 and there is no direct correlation to methane rates and ”greenhouse effect” or global warming as it is called. The fact is that everyone likes to point out all of these factors to why the end of the world is coming, but all of them are likely the earth doing what it’s done over the last several millions of years. The only direct impact that COULD be related to methane increase is temperatures which have increased very little over the last 30 years, and again are still well under what is considered the average the earth has experienced over time. The 1200ppm theory is also so unproven and there is zero direct correlation with either CO2 or Methane ppm to loss of arctic ice caps. The north pole loses ice with the South Pole gains it. That’s what is happening now and what has happened many, many times during history. So to tie back Methane to all of these chicken little theories is as ridiculous as Gore saying the east coast would be under water within 20 years Back in the 80’s. So keep trying to push the theory and continue to buy into the propaganda that is being spewed, but until there is a very real, proven direct correlation then I will chose actually look from both sides and make my own guided determination on what is a real threat versus what politicians are going to use to gain more control over the masses. Believe what you want but nothing you point to as your “end of time“ theory is proven or has any indicators which directly correlate. Keep believing though, that’s exactly what they want so they can control you.
The Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration conducts research that addresses three major challenges: greenhouse gas and carbon cycle feedbacks, changes in clouds, aerosols, and surface radiation, and recovery of stratospheric ozone.
Now, as I mentioned before anything I say is readily available online requiring the slightest effort to find out. Global CO2 is currently above 417 ppm and will continue to increase at an unprecedented rate:
We are not close to 300ppm CO2 ...

Well that's just silly. Methane (CH4) is a much more powerful GHG than CO2 is but has a shorter atmospheric lifespan:---and there is no direct correlation to methane rates and ”greenhouse effect” or global warming as it is called.
Methane (CH4) is estimated to have a GWP of 27-30 over 100 years (Learn why EPA's U.S. Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks uses a different value.). CH4 emitted today lasts about a decade on average, which is much less time than CO2. But CH4 also absorbs much more energy than CO2. The net effect of the shorter lifetime and higher energy absorption is reflected in the GWP. The CH4 GWP also accounts for some indirect effects, such as the fact that CH4 is a precursor to ozone, and ozone is itself a GHG.
That's why CH4 is also tracked by NOAA here: Global CH4 Monthly Means
The only direct impact that COULD be related to methane increase is temperatures which have increased very little over the last 30 years, and again are still well under what is considered the average the earth has experienced over time.
- Earth’s temperature has risen by 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880, but the rate of warming since 1981 is more than twice that: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade.
- 2021 was the sixth-warmest year on record based on NOAA’s temperature data.
- Averaged across land and ocean, the 2021 surface temperature was 1.51 °F (0.84 °Celsius) warmer than the twentieth-century average of 57.0 °F (13.9 °C) and 1.87 ˚F (1.04 ˚C) warmer than the pre-industrial period (1880-1900).
- The nine years from 2013 through 2021 rank among the 10 warmest years on record.
You need to learn the difference between unproven and not understood.The 1200ppm theory is also so unproven ...
Stratocumulus decks respond to greenhouse warming in large-eddy simulations that explicitly resolve cloud dynamics in a representative subtropical region. In the simulations, stratocumulus decks become unstable and break up into scattered clouds when CO2 levels rise above 1,200 ppm. In addition to the warming from rising CO2 levels, this instability triggers a surface warming of about 8 K globally and 10 K in the subtropics. Once the stratocumulus decks have broken up, they only re-form once CO2 concentrations drop substantially below the level at which the instability first occurred. Climate transitions that arise from this instability may have contributed importantly to hothouse climates and abrupt climate changes in the geological past. Such transitions to a much warmer climate may also occur in the future if CO2 levels continue to rise.
there is zero direct correlation with either CO2 or Methane ppm to loss of arctic ice caps. The north pole loses ice with the South Pole gains it.

You completely lose control here and just lapse into anti-science pure right wing nonsense. You demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of basic well understood scientific certainties, you misstate facts and replace them with biased political conjecture, and you wrap yourself in rationalized "whistling past the graveyard" desperation.
Nobody is controlling anything. This is well beyond control. This, for us all, will be consequences. None of your tax dollars are required. You don't have to do anything different. You can simply look away and that may actually be best. But you are in the seat and on the roller coaster along with everyone else and just like everyone else you are going over that hill. What you do whether it be raise your arms or hide your eyes, none of those decisions are relevant. That's what you need to understand.
I simply am offering the chance to make amends privately to your own. To have a few precious moments that you otherwise would have overlooked. All men deserve that chance.
