		<description><![CDATA[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!

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers have found alarming evidence that the frozen Arctic floor has started to thaw and release long-stored methane gas. The results could be a catastrophic warming of the earth, since methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
