clathrate gun hypothesis是什么意思?有什么典故在里面,望诸位鸿儒点拨小弟一下,

Answer 1

clathrate gun hypothesis: 格子状/窗格形的/包合物...假说, 假设=它是关于海洋温度上升 或 海平面下降后会发生什么影响...的一个假设.英文定义如下:(请用谷歌翻译)
"The clathrate gun hypothesis/ is the popular name/ given to the hypothesis/ that rises in sea temperatures (and/or falls in sea level) can trigger the sudden release of methane from methane clathrate compounds buried in seabeds and permafrost which, because the methane itself is a powerful greenhouse gas, leads to further temperature rise and further methane clathrate destabilization – in effect initiating a runaway process as irreversible, once started, as the firing of a gun."
