As the planet warms from CO2 emissions and the atmospheric humidity levels rise, Harvey is just the kind of weather that we can expect to see more of. Ocean waters are warming and rising. Monster storms are brewing. The great irony in all of this is that the city of Houston is the oil capital of Texas and as such has benefited greatly from the American oil industry. It is the USA’s fourth largest city and a major CO2 facilitator emitter.
Oh yes, I should add that CO2 is also the cause of the methane now bubbling out of the Arctic. Very large methane hydrate deposits exist below the Arctic land and adjacent ocean areas. Scientists say they represent 100 times the amount needed to cause another Permian style major planetary extinction event.
This methane hydrate feedback loop will begin to “kick in” after a 2 C degrees (3.6 F) increase in global temperatures. Our civilization is approaching that 2 C figure. Global temperatures throughout the planet will then rise rapidly. Many scientists are telling us that as a result the feedback loop, temperatures far in excess of 4 C degrees are predicted due to a runaway increase in Methane. Over a 100-year timeframe methane is about 35 times more potent than carbon dioxide, over 20 years 84 times more potent.
If you think Houston has a problem, just wait; you my Donald Trump skeptical friends and your progeny do too.
Because of global warming from C02, our planet is moving into a period where there is a high probability of a methane hydrate feedback loop in the Arctic. Then we Homo sapiens will experience the same conditions that existed during the Permian-Triassic extinction when 96% of all marine species and 70% of all terrestrial vertebrates became extinct. And once the feedback loop starts there will be no way to stop it.
When Methane Hydrate Loop is triggered, we are all goners.

Exponential population grown and declining oil revenues spell disaster.
