see?? i loving told you, the clathrate gun is going off as we speak. time to get your affairs in order and enjoy this last 'calm' period before everything goes to poo poo. just loving look at it! mid-2022 this graph started rising in a way it never has before, and since then it's only been accelerating. enjoy the coolest year of the rest of our lives :dukedog:

quote:

Increases in bottom-water temperature at the landward limit of marine hydrate around continental margins, where vulnerable hydrate exists at or below the seabed, cause methane to vent into the ocean. However, this setting represents only ~3.5% of the global hydrate reservoir. The potential for methane from hydrate in deeper water to reach the atmosphere was considered negligible. Here we use three-dimensional (3D) seismic imagery to show that, on the Mauritanian margin, methane migrated at least 40 km below the base of the hydrate stability zone and vented through 23 pockmarks at the shelf break, probably during warmer Quaternary interglacials. We demonstrate that, under suitable circumstances, some of the 96.5% of methane bound in deeper water distal hydrates can reach the seafloor and vent into the ocean beyond the landward limit of marine hydrate. This reservoir should therefore be considered for estimating climate change-induced methane release during a warming world.

My area got a decent 6 - 8 inches of snow over the weekend. Winter at last!
Then yesterday we got heavy rains, and today its 50 out.
Now for the 2nd time in 6 months the 500 year flood plain behind my house is underwater. No worries.

*thinking really hard* what if... we made electric from tap

Microturbines can generate electricity from drinking water pipes
Water pipes offer a largely untapped source of renewable electricity that could provide 1.4 gigawatts of power in the US alone

quote:

This type of “in-conduit” hydropower already supplies around 530 megawatts of generation capacity in the US, according to a 2022 study by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. If such systems were installed at all potential sites in the country, the study estimated this could provide at least 1.41 gigawatts of additional capacity – equivalent to around 450 onshore wind turbines – without requiring any large new infrastructure to be built.

what if we use electricity to pump the water high up to generate "water pressure" then use some sort of "hydro electric" generation device to turn that into power again :thunk:

those sorts of hydro systems are pretty cool conceptually, effectively just reducing the electricity costs of providing tap water.

the way water distribution works is through hydraulic head. water is usually stored at a high head (think bernoulli principle) such as a tank and the differential drives the conveyance of water. however, often pressures are unevenly distributed in a network and can be too high and need to be retarded with pressure reducing valves, or sometimes too low, or often from transfering from one pressure zone to another. instead of using a rate control station or regulator, some of that driven through the hydraulic head could be converted to energy instead of dissipated

it's really just an slightly more expensive to replacing a regulator facility and mostly just provide small offset to pumping stations. not really a grid generation.

You posted spot readings from one site without any consideration of the sort of variability these individual sites have. It's meaningless. Methane continues to increase to unprecedented levels, it doesn't explain the recent SST increases. This graph doesn't do anything special when global SSTs began diverging:

The clathrates are still there ready to pop off.


Just because we're barreling down the path toward eradicating most multicellular life from the planet doesn't mean that every Guy Mcpherson-tier claim of made up poo poo is true.
