The ocean is holding back a giant "burp" which scientists now say could cause the equivalent of "several centuries" of climate change

Methane hydrates, ice-like deposits of water and methane gas, are stable only under conditions of high pressure and low temperature, typically found hundreds of meters below the sea surface.

The primary mechanisms that cause the release (dissociation) of methane from these deep-sea deposits are significant, long-term changes in these environmental conditions:
Warming ocean bottom water.
A significant decrease in pressure, such as due to large submarine landslides.

Physical disturbances like minor water "churning" are surface or shallow-water phenomena and do not affect the extreme pressure and temperature conditions required to keep hydrates stable in the deep ocean. The seafloor sediment itself acts as a substantial cap, preventing most methane from escaping unless the pressure and temperature conditions at the base of the hydrate stability zone are fundamentally altered.

If methane is released, it often dissolves in the water column or is consumed by microbes before reaching the atmosphere, mitigating its immediate climate impact, though the potential for massive releases over geological timescales remains a subject of scientific study.

So, it's actual a methane fart ...

That isn’t a burp. It’s a fart from the environweenies.

In other words, “I need a 10 million dollar grant to study ocean burps in the tropics.”

No it isn't. The global warming hoaxters have tried before to revive the "excess heat is hidden in the depths of the ocean" nonsense, which they'd invented as an alibi for why their model is always wrong. This won't stop until they start to die off.

Ah yes... Cows fart, the Ocean burps. Must keep those facts straight when discussing the manner of civilizational collapse.

[Red Badger]

I believe that. We had a foot of snow on the Gulf Coast for the first time in recorded history, which granted isn’t very long. I have lived in Florida and The South for all my life, except during my stint in the Marines, and never seen such a thing!

...CO2 bonds with water...

Technically CO₂ dissolves in water. It returns to a gas state when the pressure above the water is low and any disturbance occurs. The disturbance of shaking is actually applies a tiny increase in temperature.

Been Gate’s plan for decades, as well as the Eugenics crowd. The theory is that if you murder 7 billion folks, then the earth would be in balance. Of course he would be one of the survivors. 7 billion people is a lot of carbon.

So now we have a plot for ONE MORE Mission Impossible movie: agent Hunt has to stop terrorists from setting off a nuclear weapon on the floor of the ocean to prevent ‘a great burp’ of heat that will destroy all life on earth. (Claiming the rights to this preposterous story for myself!)

[Jim Noble]

I know.

Who is thought to be in control of what the ocean does?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember reading of Unidentified swimming objects in the sea almost 50 years ago.

You're probably right - that said if we defund these crazies at least they'll lose an incentive to keep talking up this crap.
