Only Roger can spin an article that essentially throws cold water onto
the Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis into one that supports it.
I suppose Roger wants us to believe the putative "30%" man-made gg
component is responsible for the increased water vapour, but in fact
the increase could be due to rising temperatures that have nothing to
do with manmade GG. Notwithstanding what a FORTRAN 77 computer
simulation shows.

"Further research is needed on the AGW hypothesis".

Yes further research is needed urgently on how much more water vapour
will be produced by the increase in carbon dioxide. Will it be enough to
warm the planet to the extent that the methane hydrates will be released?

Cheers, Alastair.

Based on the consensus you are right Alastair, but keep in mind that
30% of the temperature increase is due to non-manmade causes, says the
IPCC. So if that 30% goes to 50%, then it's fifty-fifty nature vs.
manmade.

As for methane hydrates, if they somehow rise from the bottom of the
sea to outgas at the surface, then it's curtains for us, regardless of
global warming. Same if a rogue meteor strikes the earth. Or a
mega-volcano. Or a global pandemic that's not curable. Or "grey goo
nanotech". Standard Halloween Science Scare Stories. Life will find a
way.
