Methane Bubbling Up From Undersea Permafrost?

National Geographic reports: "The East Siberian Sea is bubbling with methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, being released from underwater reserves, according to a recent expedition by a Russian team. This could be a sign that global warming is thawing underwater permafrost, which is releasing methane that has been locked away for many thousands of years."

This is one of those really bad things that Al Gore talks about.
