  1. Canada's new national strategy to boost electrification using clean sources does include solar, wind, rebates for heat pumps in homes and retrofitting buildings, integration of home solar into the grid, but also focuses on greater use of natural gas to generate electricity. Meanwhile, communities in British Columbia near fracking sites and LNG facilities continue to push for a better understanding of the health effects.

  2. Melting of #Greenland ice sheet could release large stores of #methane

    https://www.newscientist.com/article/2526620-melting-of-greenland-ice-sheet-could-release-large-stores-of-methane/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home

    Seismic surveys and sediment cores suggest that dozens of deep pockmarks on the sea floor were created when Arctic methane stores were disrupted by climate change after the last glacial maximum – and scientists warn it could happen again
    Methane hydrates form when gas molecules are trapped in a cage of water molecules, freezing into an ice-like substance. They are sometimes called “fire ice” because they can burn despite being 85 per cent water.
    They form under the high pressure and low temperature found in sediments beneath the ocean, permafrost or glaciers. Some estimates suggest methane hydrates contain twice as much carbon as all coal, oil and conventional gas on Earth.
