Meanwhile, Arctic Carbon Explosions

"We're fucked."  Fantastic.  Big ole methane bubbles reaching the surface, releasing shitloads of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.  That's brilliant.  What we really need is lots and lots more carbon in the atmosphere instead of trapped under the sea floor or in the tundra or in the biomass of the planet.  Atmosphere is good.  That's how it will make it nice and warm for everybody.  Whether we want it or not.  It's not like the atmosphere is a heat engine or anything.  It's not like a rapidly warming planet will make our climate astoundingly violently chaotic or anything.  We're frakkin' golden!
