Bubble, Bubble, Warming and Trouble
Vast quantities of methane are stored in ocean sediments, mostly in the
form of clathrates, but methane is also trapped in submerged terrestrial
permafrost that was flooded during the last deglaciation. There is thus
concern that climate warming could warm ocean waters enough to release
methane cryogenically trapped beneath the seabed
Yawn, another monster-in-the-closet for the warmies to fret about.
Idiot.
Arctic seafloor a big source of methane
Measurements show that Arctic undersea methane deposits, previously
thought to be sealed by permafrost, are leaking into the atmosphere.
