New research shows reservoirs of ocean methane in mid-latitude regions will not be released to the atmosphere under warming conditions. — ScienceDaily
Deep below the ocean’s surface, the seafloor contains large quantities of naturally occurring, ice-like deposits made up of water and concentrated methane gas. For decades, climate scientists have wondered if this methane hydrate reservoir might “melt” and release massive amounts of methane to the ocean and the atmosphere as ocean temperatures warm. New research from … Read more
