"Subsea permafrost is losing its ability to be an impermeable cap"
Natalia Shakova (Scientist)
Total of 5,000 Sites where Methane is being released from, and some is said to be coming from the seabed. Until releasing discovered, the sea floor was considered a barrier preventing the methane from escaping.
GLOBAL WARMING
Martin Heimann (Biochemist) claims that the 8 million tonnes of Methane being released is "negligible" compared to the 440 million tonnes in Global EMISSIONS. He states, "These leaks could have been occurring all the time."
Shakova states "urgent need" to watch over the Arctic since "Methane" is the second most common greenhouse gas. Also if monitoring is done, we can see if it was a steady event or a freak event.
How much does one spend in the outdoors? For many it a very small percentage. Why such a small percentage?
The AVG. person spends 49 HOURS a week sleeping, which is 2940 MINUTES.
The AVG. person spends 40 HOURS a week working, which is 2400 MINUTES.
This TOTAL ABOVE is 53% of an AVG. person's Weekly Time Spent.
Now ADD School + School Related Work
The AVG. student spends 12 HOURS a week in school, which is 720 MINUTES.
The AVG. time spent per outside classroom for class is 2 Hrs x 12 = 24 HOURS, which is 1440 MINUTES.
NEW TOTAL = 125 HOURS, which is 7500 MINUTES.
74.4% of a Working Students TIME.
LEAVING 43 HOURS for Personal Time, which is 2580 MINUTES. (25.6%)'
