Sent to PM and Sen Ley. Australia
When methane reaches between 5 and 15% in the atmosphere, a spark or fire could ignite the atmosphere. Malcolm says a “firestorm”. This is a nice way of saying we would burn to death. Furthermore, he is predicting that this could happen in the next 18 to 34 months. What if he is right which he maybe? He has built a plausible case for his assessment. We must stop global heating now to prevent Arctic methane from suddenly releasing. And it is not just from the methane hydrates. It is also from methane sediments that have a permafrost safety cap. There are also methane revivors that contain huge amounts of methane gas under pressure. Also, there are cracks in the tectonic plates that methane can come up from. Stopping global heating is an emergency.

GLOBAL EXTINCTION WITHIN 18 – 34 MONTHS
by Malcolm Light
Humanity is facing the final, western corporate capitalist, fossil fuel initiated, catastrophic Arctic methane hydrate destabilization and Permian style methane blowout – firestorm that will culminate in 1 to 4 years (2020 to 2023).
We will all be boiled alive like lobsters in a massively humid atmosphere and converted into stardust.
Recent data from the Arctic confirm an exponential rise in the temperature anomaly of the Arctic stratospheric methane which is now 65 degrees C above the normal, while it was only 20 degrees C above the normal, 6 to 8 years ago.
Using this data and the recent Piomas (2017) estimates of the minimum Arctic ice shelf volume it is now possible to estimate the timing of the Arctic – Permian style methane blowout firestorm more accurately and the events in the Figure 1. below and tabulated beneath it.
1. An Arctic blue oceanic event is possible in 2020 due to the fast rise in Summer temperatures (Piomas – Zhang and Rothrock, 2003, Wipneus, 2017, Carana, 2016)
2. The start of the Arctic Permian style methane blowout event can begin as early as July 15, 2020 at the end of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere if the Mean Yearly Global Warming Potential of Methane is used (119.3959 from Goddard Space Flight Centre Data, NASA 2012)
3. The Major Arctic Permian Style, Methane Blowout – Firestorm Event which will cause the release of some 50 Gt of methane from the Arctic shelf and slope (Shakhova, 2010), a 10 Degree Centigrade Rise in Mean Global Atmospheric Temperatures causing a Catastrophic Permian Style Global Extinction Event, is timed to begin on 4th September, 2021 using an Atmospheric Methane Global Warming Potential of 100. This is an end Summer event for the Northern Hemisphere.
4. There is a 95% Probability that the Arctic Ice Shelf will have Zero Volume by the 5th of September 2022 (Piomass – Zhang and Rothrock, 2003, Wipneus, 2017, Carana, 2016) which is an end Summer event and exactly one year after the Catastrophic Permian Style Global Extinction Event.
This indicates a total 12 month delay in the atmospheric heat being transferred to the tropical ocean currents (e.g the Gulf Stream) and then being conducted north to heat up the Svalbard current which then destabilizes the shelf and slope methane hydrates in the Arctic ocean releasing methane to the atmosphere.
The Goddard Space flight Centre Arctic shelf data (NASA 2012) indicate a 7 month delay in Summer ocean heating and the release of methane from the Arctic shelf and slope.
The Arctic ice shelf is being melted from below so the ocean needs to be heated first by the methane in the tropical stratosphere and this heat is then transferred by ocean current to the Arctic over at least 7 months. Ice also has a large latent heat of melting adding an additional several months to the delay time for the total Arctic ice shelf melt.
5. From the 24ᵗʰ of December 2022, Worldwide Catastrophic Weather Systems are now entirely controlled by the Arctic Atmospheric Global Warming Veil. The data is derived from the converging amplitude envelope of the 11 year moving average of the GISS maximum surface temperature anomalies from which the final mean convergence point being was determined (NASA GISS Data).
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
The start date of the Permian style global extinction event may be only 18 to 19 months away. This says that you must complete your bucket list of unfulfilled dreams before July to August 2020. A bucket list is a list of unfulfilled actions you need to complete before you die (“kick the bucket”).
Do not worry about dying as it comes to all of us in the end, only this time we will all be going together. The Earth will soon after this lose all its oceans and become “Venus Like”.
Empathy is organic evolution’s key to group survival in a uncaring inorganic universe. Enjoy yourselves and be excellent to each other in these last days and hours on the only remaining habitable planet in this solar system.

John Berbatis A methane burst from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf could happen at any time and needs only a trigger. That’s the conclusion of the world’s leading research scientist in that region – Natalia Shakhova. On 5th June Shakhova and her team released their latest findings and conclusions in a paper published by Geosciences. This week we take a look.

They’ve been studying Eastern Siberian permafrost and the Arctic ocean regarding methane for 15 years and they are quite nervous about their findings. No, it’s loc…See More

Sam is very bold in his/her time-specific predictions. I don’t disagree with him/her broadly but perhaps we have a little more time than that. Negative feedback loops? We live in hope. 😀
According to Michael Mann {9/2/2019}.
“02:13 . . . scientists who have studied this
02:15 problem say yeah there’s a certain
02:16 amount of methane that we it could be
02:19 mobilized and it will add to the warming
02:21 but it’s a small contribution compared
02:25 to the warming we are causing by the
F02:26 burning of fossil fuels . . . “
