Faster and faster 50GT "burps".  There is up to a thousand gigatons of methane in the Arctic Tundra and even more in the oceans, all releasing faster and faster.  This should go with the methane or GTEE (AETM ELE) thread.  Even with a partial release total, the temperature rise is probably going toward 30*C higher than 20th century average.  This could be enough to get the other half to release and the oceans to boil away into a cloud cover over, and oven, similar to Venus.
