Alaska is a good real estate investment for if you're going long on climate change. :homebrew: :shepicide:

not really, anything built on melting permafrost (which is already happening) is hosed

e: pg 15 from Field Notes From A Catastrophe by Elizabeth Colbert:

"One of the first stops on Romanovsky's tour was a hole that had opened up in a patch of permafrost not far from his house. It was about six feet wide and five feet deep. Nearby were the outlines of other, even bigger holes, which, Romanovsky told me, had been filled with gravel by the local public-works department. The holes known as thermokarsts, had appeared suddenly when the permafrost gave way, like rotting floorboard. (The technical term for thawed permafrost "talik," from a Russian word meaning "not frozen.") Across the road Romanovsky pointed out a long trench running into the woods. The trench, he explained, had been formed when a wedge of underground ice had melted. The spruce trees that had been growing next to it, or perhaps on top of it, were now listing at odd angles, as if in a gale. Locally, such trees are called "drunken." A few of the spruces had fallen over. "These are very drunk," Romanovsky said."
I think that's from pre-2010 even

it's the methane clathrates you really have to worry about. once those start melting that's that, although it won't be like that history channel mega disasters episode where giant deep sea methane blow outs trigger tsunamis and methane clouds that ignite and trigger a permanent winter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis

probably won't start happening for another thousand years though.

I'm a biogeochemist so it is extremely my poo poo. Like how, for example, iron is super duper common in enzymes and biology because life evolved when the oceans were loaded with iron. Then the O2 from photosynthesis reacted with the iron in the oceans, forming rust, and now free iron usable by biology is quite rare. That's why iron fertilization of the oceans was a big thing for a while, iron is so scarce in modern oceans that algae go nuts when you drop some in.

read some of the papers by Ariel Anbar (ASU)

a book I read earlier this year, The Story of Earth by Robert M. Hazen really got into the biogeochemical history of early earth and that poo poo is cool as hell. first time i heard the term 'mineral evolution'
