Record levels of methane recorded in the Arctic

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Methane gas is 20 times more potent of a green house gas than carbon dioxide.

There are an estimated 400 gigatons of methane locked in the frozen arctic tundra.

This region is starting to become unfrozen.

What happens to the methane when the permafrost melts?

If you live on the coast, I hope your a strong swimmer!
