There is an article from NBC this morning "Climate Bomb? Methane Vents Bubble on Seafloor off east Coast: Study". It reports the possible methane leakage at the Altantic Ocean along the U.S. East Coast. The phase "Climate BOMB" caught my eyes. Definitely, on the bright side, scientists and engineers have been trying to catch this "BUBBLES" for our daily energy consumption.
Here is another article suggested about methane hydrates from BBC:
