These are methane clathrates, not "flammable ice". Why do people feel the need to dumb things down? And this is dangerous: if a mass of clathrates was destabilized by such mining, it could inject gigatonnes of methane into the atmosphere. Methane is a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2, although it's not as long-lived. And if you burn it, it still yields CO2. We need nuclear fusion urgently.


Good luck china citizen you gonna need it
