Piecing together clues from many fields, Dr. Schoch has concluded that the triggering factor was an eruption from our Sun.
You can't make your point without arranging things out of context ?
It appears these "many fields" doesn't include solar physics ... sub-dwarf main sequence stars have not been observed to do this ...
What you're talking about is usually called the Late Bronze Age collapse ... over a thousand years after the conservative dating of the Sphinx ... try again ... or drop better acid ...

Well, the sooner your meat consumption will be zero, then.You can cut yours in half, I'll double mine.
You are a rare person who notice this, most thinks it is a big deal, when it is irrelevant since CH4 doesn't diddly squat for warm forcing effect, as there is so little of it and so little IR absorption to drive it past negligible.Oh ... there's a link ... talk about a click-bait headline ...
Over a 20-year time frame, methane traps 86 times as much heat in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
NOAA gives this as 25 times in the cite a few posts above ... which do we believe? ... well, the folks that say 86 times haven't a clue where the methane's coming from ...
You posted the link ... did you read it with a critical eye? ... you kinda own this claim now, care to defend why the atmospheric scientists at NOAA are so crazy batshit wrong? ... and the floor is open, I have no idea what the true value is ... convince me it's 86 times ... if the math works, I'll believe you ...
Another new study, however, offers some measure of hope, citing modeling that shows that reducing anthropogenic methane emissions can still offset the “natural” leakage that the thawing Arctic will produce under warmer temperatures. If true, it would suggest that a disastrous feedback loop—in which human-driven greenhouse gas emissions melt the planet’s permafrost, turning it from a vast carbon storage unit into a huge new source of planet-warming methane, driving further warming—might yet be averted. But scientists also say the time available for avoiding that runaway-train scenario is quickly disappearing.

No proof to the contrary either.
Methane may also have been the cause of rapid warming events deep in Earth’s history, millions of years ago. Under high pressure, like the pressures found deep at the bottom of the ocean, methane solidifies into a slush-like material called methane hydrate. Vast amounts of methane are “frozen” in place at the bottom of the sea in this chemical state, though the exact amounts and locations are still being studied. The hydrates are stable unless something comes along to disturb them, like a plume of warm water.
A massive warming event that occurred about 55 million years ago may have been kicked off by destabilized hydrates, some scientists think. Methane percolated up from the seafloor into the atmosphere, flooding it with the heat-trapping gas and forcing the planet to warm drastically and quickly.
Methane facts and information
Cows and bogs release methane into the atmosphere, but it's by far mostly human activity that's driving up levels of this destructive greenhouse gas.
Because it's an article, not a research paper on methane forcing. In what the rest of us call "reality", it's very significant. But we are all looking forward to your published research, Cletus.The article is speculative bullshit, have seen it before, they don't want you to know that CH4 even at high levels is an insignificant warm forcer., they mention that it is a "potent greenhouse gas" at 28 times CO2 ( we have seen 25, 28, and 80 times numbers) but NEVER show it mathematically
I see that you offered NOTHING at all, clodus.Because it's an article, not a research paper on methane forcing. In what the rest of us call "reality", it's very significant.

where do we send the money?Don't worry. We can just hop on over to Mars when we're done here.
A new Rochester University study raises new grave questions about fossil fuel production and climate change. The author of the first major study on methane and fracking, Cornell University's Bob Howarth, explains its implications.
