There is one theory where because of global warming the methyl hydrates frozen on the sea bed start releasing methane (an even worse greenhouse gas!) and that then leads to runaway global warming and catastrophic climate change. This has happened in the past and caused some of the more drastic sea level changes in earths history. But this brings us back to the main problem again, no one
really knows how much man is a contributor and how much is due to natural causes
