In 2006, Methane levels began to rapidly increase in Earth's atmosphere and haven't showed signs of slowing down. What is causing this mysterious spike? Are humans to blame or can this be attributed to the planet entering a ice age termination event?

I'm very surprised Youtube allowed an actual scientific discussion of a controversial topic. Well done, sir.

Glad you mentioned that we're STILL in an ice age and made the distinction between ice ages and glacial periods. So many people just skim that entirely.

Thank you for reminding people that we’re still in an ice age. I’ve been trying to explain this to people for over a decade.

Thank you for taking me back to my teenage years when scientists and researchers could have intellectual conversations with data and existing evidence.

Science has been so tied to politics people have all but forgotten what a real scientific demeanor is. A breath of fresh air.

When I was in highschool in the 90's my teachers told me that we are in the tail end of an ice age and that in my lifetime I should expect an increase in temperature, sea rises and better farming

I've personally felt as though winter has been taking longer to arrive, but staying for the same amount of time once it does. I remember back in the mid 90s that we would reliably get the first snow in late mid October, and we would get the first real storm in late November or early December. I also remember that in 1995, we got a blizzard in April that was considered unheard of. Now almost 30 years later we often don't get our first snow until January, but now it's not uncommon to have snow in may.
Summer has also felt shifted. I remember as a kid June and July were swelteringly hot, whereas August and September had a break in the temperatures. Now June and July are temperate, August and September feel like an oven, and there isn't a break in the temperatures sometimes until early December. Just what I've personally observed, with all the pitfalls of memory and perception.

I was looking at the ice core temperature scale of the last 800,000 years a few years ago. Every temp spike they projected was followed fairly closely by a coresponding methane spike.

I like how he admits that we still don't know. A sign that he is really an expert in this subject matter.

A breath of fresh air to have the climate debate presented with significant research and justification. Dr. Ben, you have brought together much of the various arguments into a concise summary of what we really need to track. I found the global methane release map extremely fascinating. Thank you. This deserves wide viewing.

The difficult part about having this kind of discussion is people automatically make it seem like you are in favor of polluting the world.

My electronic principles lecture taught me this cyclic theory whilst learning satellite orbits and calculation position to signal strength.......that was early 90s and I've never heard of it discussed since....when ever I explain it to people I literally see there jaw drop....I worked for ESA on sat coms and literally nobody had heard of these cycles..... i will sendcthis video to people in future because I'm done explaining 😊

I always try to tell people we are technically still in an ice age, we're just at the tail end of it that's why it's been so nice and livable for us

What a fantastic presentation. In this period, it is borderline miraculous to find a video on this particular subject that cares to give HISTORICAL CONTEXT. I am grateful.

I've been living in the Midwest much longer than I care to say.... and winter is coming wayyyyyyyy later than it used to and its over wayyyyyyy earlier. This year winter that looked like winter, lasted about 6 days (mid/late January to end of January). Its February and we have "Spring" flowers coming up in our yards already, its going to be 72'F in a couple days.
Its amazing how the locals ignore it. When it stops getting below freezing at all over winter here, things are really going to get freaky. But, somehow the human mind will find a way to dismiss it I'm sure.

Wow , hearing a scientist saying that honestly they do not know something is refreshing ! Thank you for this video and I have to say it was definatly interesting and educational . I'll be following and sharing this channel thanks again

Enjoyed the content-refreshing to hear “we really don’t know” for a change.

Great presentation of what's known and yet unknown. No political double-speak. I was starting to believe this was not possible in todays world. Thank you.

A note to the animator:
The elliptical orbit is centered at a focus, near the pointier end of the ellipse. Both the closest point, periapsis, and the furthest point, apoapsis, occur at the pointy ends of the ellipse, basically 180 degrees apart, not on the flat side of the ellipse 90 degrees apart.
This is not responsible for our seasons but it is a seasonal effect. The southern hemisphere's seasons are somewhat amplified by getting closer to the sun in summer while the Northern hemisphere's seasons are somewhat moderated by getting closer to the sun in winter.
