Strategic Carbon heats up
According to U.S. Geological Survey estimates, natural gas from methane hydrate formations in the oceans could be two to three times the amount of current petroleum reserves. "I have traveled the world and know who the best scientists are," Coffin said.www.seacoastonline.com
Waking the methane monster is madness (2)
The total amount of methane stored beneath the Arctic is calculated to be greater than the overall quantity of carbon locked up in global coal reserves so there is intense interest in the stability of these deposits as the polar region warms at a ...blogs.redding.com

Climate Catastrophe Nearer, Al Gore Gives Us About 90 More Years
There's also the problem that rising ocean temperatures will allow methane hydrates to escape. That's gas. And that gas released into the atmosphere means faster erosion of the ozone layer, possibly speeding up the process and making matters even worse.www.forbes.com

A natural gas hydrate, combustible ice is mainly found in deep seas (China successfully excavated combustible ice from below the floor of the South China Sea in May 2007, and ) and on plateaus.reneweconomy.com.au
A Massive Field Of Frozen Greenhouse Gas Is Thawing Out
The United States Geological Survey says that though methane hydrate stores are common along the world's coastlines, "recent research indicates that most of the world's gas hydrate deposits should remain stable for the next few thousand years. Of the ...blogs.smithsonianmag.com
