Climate-Changing Methane Reservoirs In The East Coast
The team of scientists used seismic records and ocean models to come up with the estimate that there are 2.5 gigatonnes of frozen methane hydrate that could separate into methane gas and water. If released, the methane gas would rise up through the ...www.greenerideal.com
Waking the methane monster is madness (1)
There is an enormous amount of methane (CH4) on earth frozen into a type of ice called methane hydrate. Most of these are in sediments of the ocean, but some are associated with permafrost soils.blogs.redding.com

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 Massive Field Of Frozen Greenhouse Gas Is Thawing Out
Long-term shifts in the temperature or location of the Gulf Stream have been going on for around 5,000 years, the study suggests, and these changes are destabilizing 2.5 gigatonnes of methane hydrate—a methane gas molecule trapped in a cage of frozen ...blogs.smithsonianmag.com
