    The only positive about the methane thing is that it stays in the atmosphere for around 12 years. It’ll still do tons of damage, but the direct effect from the methane is pretty short lived. Finding that out made me think Venus like isn’t inevitable

      Yea but it’s also 20x as potent of a greenhouse gas. That the problem with a positive feedback loop. It’ll raise the temp enough to release more which will raise the temp enough to release more…

      And all the while that rise in temperature makes is increasing release of cos which does stay around for way longer.
