New research has shown that fire-ice - frozen methane which is trapped as a solid under our oceans - is vulnerable to melting due to climate change and could be released into the sea.

    Yet another facet of the methane-hydrate feedback loop. Already happening with methane being released through permafrost melting.

      It’s scary stuff, at this point we have no idea what sorts of horrors we’ve unleashed.

    Methane is going to really fuck with our near-term climate change projections. Our estimates for methane emissions are even worse than they are for CO2.
