Hey Sup Forums, how responsible is your country for the inevitable anthropogenic ecocide which will result when industrial greenhouse effects begin to release millions of tons of methane trapped in permafrost?
Hey Sup Forums...
Is that even enough methane to effect the planet tho? Because wouldn't the air consists of billions, if not, trillions of tons of gasses?

>Polluting less than the US
Per capita means per person, which is saying that the average Chinese emits less CO2 than the average American. But they also have around 4x the amount of people that America does.
Silly american
To some extend but were trying hard to steer against it. My conscience is clear as we have enough other shit to cuck ourselves over already.
Ecocide would make for a good challenge to the west to start expanding on tech and stop spending gargantuan amounts on beauty products and social gibs. I am confident in our abilities and the wonders we'll produce when kicked into survival mode.

>people only post about methane now that it's about to go off and major news sites suddenly care
We've known about climate change for years and even now that we're absolutely certain about it no one wants to do anything.
Africa is so far ahead, they reduce greatly their co2 emissions

I don't think geoengineering and carbon sequestration will be implemented in time to save us from extinction desu. The positive feedback loop is already in motion.
"Based on measurements of gases trapped in biogenic and abiogenic calcite, the release of methane (of ∼3–14% of total C stored) from permafrost and shelf sediment methane hydrate is deemed the ultimate source and cause for the dramatic life-changing global warming (GMAT > 34 °C) and oceanic negative-carbon isotope excursion observed at the end Permian. Global warming triggered by the massive release of carbon dioxide may be catastrophic, but the release of methane from hydrate may be apocalyptic. The end Permian holds an important lesson for humanity regarding the issue it faces today with greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, and climate change." sciencedirect.com
