Thanks Charlie for posting the link to Archer's article.
The article says -
On land, there is lots of methane in the thawing Arctic, exploding lakes and
what not. This methane is probably produced by decomposition of thawing
organic matter.
So quite a bit of the methane being released into
Also, I haven't read the literature, but has anyone actually measured the
bubbles to show that it's methane and not H2S, NxOy, CO2, etc. Granted the
former are probably not going to be important on land/freshwater. The images
of the undersea plumes are impressive. Would be really interesting
