Default Water vapor feedback is rapidly warming Europe!

Presumably any increase in temperature will result in some clathrate
decomposition ?

Although there is the potential for released methane to contribute to a
runaway effect, it's not a simple "hydrates will be released" or not
thing is it ?


Don't know :-(

And I am not sure anyone else does.


I'm pretty sure that physical chemists can tell you about the
thermodynamics of clathrate formation, and if they can tell you, it can
be modelled.


It is not the sort of thing you want to
talk about. You could be labelled as a crackpot!


Don't see why...
