The release of methane is one of the most predicted and feared of the positive feedback loops in Climate Change.
Stored in the permafrost and in deep sea ices called clathrates, it is 30 times more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2 and the more the planet warms the more gas is released - thus the positive feedback loop.

That's horrifying. I'm curious what the scientists think once they have accounted for this reaction. Global climate change seems to be happening far faster than anyone thought.

I'm also curious at what new previously extinct superbugs and viruses will be found and released from the permafrost.
