To summarize Andrew, (not James) Revkin's piece from the 14 devcember NYT,

" the authors confirm “drastic bottom layer heating over the coastal zone” that they attribute to warming of the Arctic atmosphere, but conclude that “recent climate change cannot produce an immediate response in sub-sea permafrost.”

That’s the understatement of the year considering their conclusion that even under sustained heating, the brunt of the sub-sea methane won’t be affected in this millennium.

It’s worth considering the risks of “single-study syndrome,”

So forget eructions of Arctic swamp gas- by combining scientific illiteracy with open contempt for fact-checking Planet Gore merely threatens to drown readers in hogwash.
