One of the comments from the link..

"We're not hearing about this yet because the global warming/climate change campaign was engineered to conceal the greatest physical influence on global warming: the Sun. And now, with this methane pouring into the atmosphere in quantities that make all carbon dioxide ever released insignificant by comparison, the Earth is being primed for 10 to 20 degree jumps in average air temperature over very brief periods, like weeks or months. How? Because if the Sun releases a mega-blast (or series of blasts) of protons and electrons into the Earth's magnetosphere, they will (within days and weeks) pour into the atmosphere and turn the air molecules we breathe into high-energy solar power cells like never before. If such an event were to occur, we're talking about seeing land at the South Pole, and saying hello to 80-degree winters in North America. With melting polar caps, the seas will cool from meltwater, leading to new ocean currents with unprecedented "freak" waves, powerful hurricanes, etc"

Original Message The Russian research vessel Academician Lavrentiev conducted a survey of 10,000 square miles of sea off the coast of eastern Siberia.

They made a terrifying discovery - huge plumes of methane bubbles rising to the surface from the seabed.

'We found more than 100 fountains, some more than a kilometre across,' said Dr Igor Semiletov, 'These are methane fields on a scale not seen before. The emissions went directly into the atmosphere.'

Earlier research conducted by Semiletov's team had concluded that the amount of methane currently coming out of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is comparable to the amount coming out of the entire world’s oceans.

Now Semiletov thinks that could be an underestimate.
