Hundreds Of Mile Wide Methane Leaks Plague Russia Arctic tiny.cc/7z4a6w This newly released story and the video below are very concerning. The Arctic methane release appears to be accelerating and at an alarming rate. Dr. Igor Semiletov, a man with years of Arctic exploration experience behind him, has shared that on his last Arctic trip he ran into hundreds of miles wide methane leaks. What could be causing this massive acceleration of these methane leaks? Is there anything at all that can stop them? What does all of this methane being released into the Earth’s atmosphere mean for us? The video below examines all of this more closely. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Scientist Igor Semiletov has sailed the Russian arctic ocean for years checking for small plumes of dangerous Methane gas. He’s mapped many of these meters-wide plumes, emitting gas 20 times more damaging to our climate than carbon dioxide. But on his last trip, as he came across the first plume, he couldn’t believe it. It was a kilometer wide. A vast column of gas spewing into our atmosphere. He sailed on and found another a kilometer wide, and another, and another. Hundreds of them. More tiny.cc/7z4a6w
