"A world disaster hidden behind beauty", why do you say this about the Arctic methane explosion?

When you mention the Arctic, you will feel the cold and freezing weather, and you will also think of the beautiful Northern Lights, but there will be a big movement in the Arctic. Arctic methane will cause the permafrost zone in the entire Arctic region to melt rapidly, leaving lakes formed by ice water everywhere, and methane will bubble and gush out of the lake water.

As the Siberian permafrost melts, the increase in methane release may change the global climate, and by then humans may not necessarily have a place to live.

1. Severe situations that will intensify the greenhouse effect

Methane is also known as the main component of natural gas, biogas, and oil field gas. Originally it was a gas that was beneficial to people. However, in reports in recent years, it can be learned that researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have proven that methane contributes to the increasing greenhouse effect on the earth's surface.

It can retain heat better than carbon dioxide and can also create temperature. Once methane breaks out in the Arctic, it will have unimaginable consequences. Global climate warming will destroy the earth's ecosystem, and animals and plants will disrupt their original order.

2. It is unimaginable to have floods or tidal changes

Why do floods occur? Because of the greenhouse effect, this is interconnected. We have known for a long time that if the Arctic begins to melt, then most of the earth will be flooded by ice water melting from the Arctic, and people will no longer have a place to live.

Once Arctic methane explodes, we may only be able to save ourselves by looking for another planet in outer space. But are planets that easy to find? Even if it is found, will it be the turn of ordinary people among the billions of people on the earth? All this is unknown.

It is understood that the Arctic is a natural reservoir for storing methane. During the Ice Age, methane was released in the Arctic. This seems to be a way of "self-management" in the Arctic. But this time the Arctic released twice as much methane energy as before.

Our beautiful homeland is once again facing challenges. The explosion of methane in the Arctic was originally expected to occur in a thousand years, but scientists predict that there will be a methane explosion in the Arctic in the next ten years or so.

I wonder if this Arctic methane explosion is just an illusion like the original doomsday legend?
