Uh Oh, Methane Evidence Suggests We Entered Ice Age Termination Event

Interesting. If I understand this video correctly, a quick summary is: Technically, we are still in an ice age. Looking at past ice ages, each one got ended by a "termination event", featuring a sudden spike in temperatures, large sea-level rise, and major changes in flora and fauna. This all happening in a matter of decades rather than thousands of years. Looking at recent measurements, it seems that the anthropogenic global warming may have kick-started us into such a termination event, where methane rises dramatically and takes over from CO2 as the major source of forcing.

if true, this probably means we're fucked.
