Scientists discover giant crater from ice age explosion that has methane-spewing mud volcano inside it

[Admin]

The Borealis Mud Volcano is only the second found in Norwegian waters and releases a continuous stream of methane-rich, muddy liquid from deep below Earth's crust.

With all the methane released in activity like this, what happened to the climate change model? Does modern technology create more methane or does nature, today as well as in the remote past?

Some may claim modern technology produces more but that should be compared with all the activity documented in the fossil record from Cambrian to Cenozoic strata, including ice age volcanic activity. This should include the increasing solar energy output known as the Faint Young Sun.

Here is global methane budget. Humans are responsible for 60% of global emissions. The yearly increase in the atmosphere, 37 million tons, is about a tenth of what humans emit.

Good chart, timeline is 2008-2017. I was thinking about geologic time scales like Cambrian through Ice Age. Much evidence for *climate change* documented in the strata.
