Free Methane !
According to numerous sources, methane has been a captive of our cooler climate locked up inside hydrate molecules, stuck deep in the ocean, or imprisoned in the permafrost for millenniums. Buried deep in the mud and slime, sequestered in hydrates–a molecular prison with little opportunity for escape–methane had little opportunity for freedom until anthropogenic forcing of the radiative balance added energy to the planet. An event nurtured by regressive industries.
