More evidence that climate scientists are continuing to downplay and minimize the severity of the problem. They have deliberately ignored the methane hydrate/permafrost feedback loop for DECADES. This is the time bomb that is now exploding before our eyes.

I asked a Scripps Institute lecturer on climate change computer models around 25 years ago why they did not have the Methane/Permafrost feedback loop factored in to their current models. He said "We chose to focus on other things". He/they were certainly downplaying it then, and they still are, industry or not. Now, they are losing equipment when they should know better than to place it in unstable areas, so the denial of the severity continues in graphic and expensive ways.
