    "global warming moves to the poles" I am your uninvited editor. During consistent +T since 1970's, high latitudes (and elevations) have always been fastest. But station data are less abundant than we would wish.

    Permafrost defrost is activating soil microbes that metabolize methane to CO2. I am not keeping up with new publications on that well. CO2 will 'emit' more there, unless new plant growth there traps C in balance. Work is in work.

    Sea-floor methane hydrates are an important concern, but 'instant' is not the adverb I'd choose.
