There are concerns that these new seeps could be making a hitherto unnoticed contribution to global warming. Funny - I thought there had been a hiatus on global warming (as actually measured) since 1989. The methane seeps apparently aren't up to the job of making the planet warmer!

The methane seeps apparently aren't up to the job of making the planet warmer! I had a wild-eyed theory that the hydrates degassed when the sea level dropped during Ice Ages (less hydrostatic pressure), and provided enough methane to start the warming cycle.
