I link to Thom Hartmann because not only is he well-informed and intelligent, he is an honest man. I have watched him change his opinion when the facts presented require a shift. He is always thought provoking.

The Last Hours of Humanity: Warming the World to Extinction
[MEDIA=youtube]J_IklxOK1Vc[/MEDIA]

Poster: "Glad to finally hear someone talking about this. It appears that both the Permian extinction and the PETM occurred in two phases; first the release the CO2 causing the initial pulse in warming, following by a massive pulse of methane clathrates released from the ocean. The second phase caused the greatest extinction. Extrapolating to the present: are we doing the same thing today? Will the CO2 we throw into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels warm the oceans to the point that sometime this century a massive pulse of methane is released causing a sudden 4-6 degree Celsius rise in temperature? Should this occur, it would mean the sixth mass extinction since the Precambrian."

The following is the documentary that Hartmann references -
