  • Humans burn fossil fuels
    • Increase in atmospheric carbon greenhouse gases
      • Rise in air temperature
        • Rise in sea temperature
          • Melting of the polar ice cap
          • Coastal/ subsea Arctic Ocean methane hydrates released
            • Increase in atmospheric methane
