Not a bang or a whimper but just a fart.
Methane study reveals serious new climate threat as methane release in Russia occurs from polar ice melt. According to this article the dinosaurs suffocated from something similar. Time to quit worrying about right wing power crazed wackos rounding up liberals to put them in concentration camps and go for a walk. Something kind of comforting that everyone is in the same boat.

The dinosaurs died out during the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event of 65 million years ago. The Permian–Triassic extinction event, to which this New Scientist article relates was much earlier, about 250 million years ago. It was far worse than the later (dinosaur) event, and was responsible for the extinction of around three quarters of land creatures and nearly all sea dwellers. Even insects were exterminated en masse. There have been at least five major extinction events in the last 500,000,000 years. The last one is the most well known because of its association with the dinosaurs.
The next one will be remembered for......or, maybe it won't.
