Climate scientists throw cold water on 'Arctic methane bomb' report

A research team made a worrisome discovery off the Siberian coast, The Guardian reports. The scientists say they believe they are first to uncover observational evidence that frozen methane deposits in the Arctic Ocean have started to be released after determining that methane levels at the ocean's surface were four to eight times higher than expected.The deposits are considered "sleeping giants of the carbon cycle" and could theoretically expedite climate change, given that methane has a warmin
