		<description>What a load of garbage.
No matter how much methane you add to the Earth the Greenhouse warming effect is limited to the amount of absorbable energy photons available.
Methane would just become excess methane on Earth.
Just exactly like there is excess water on Earth now. Ask yourself- why hasn&#039;t all the water in the ocean absorbed energy photons &amp; vaporized? The answer is because there are only a limited number of energy photons. It takes under a microsecond for a GHG like water vapor to absorb a photon &amp; then give the energy back by collision with neighboring molecules.
Only a very small fraction are ever at the900C temperature of a molecule that has absorbed a photon. Hence we have excess liquid water, and excess Co2 etc.
The only way to get a snowball Earth isif the amount of incoming energy decreases. SInce we didn&#039;t move that much from the sun, then there is another source of energy thst warms the Earth. Try Gravity and excentric movements of the planets.</description>

		<description>Dear Sir
Methane gas is produced in Bio degradation for along time its acumulation in polar ice may not be only mechanism for methane cycle, I feel it is cotributing to the   our under ground   natural gas found in river delta and deserts.</description>
