Methane Gas Leak in the Arctic

It was detected that in the Arctic Ocean, methane gas is leaking from the ocean. This is troubling considering that due to this phenomenon, we could have increases in greenhouse gases, even if we do everything in our power to slow it down. Not to say that we shouldn't do anything to prevent it, but there's always going to be an input of methane regardless. This is something that must be carefully approached by researchers, because with new findings such as these coming out, predictions about climate change must be changed, and this isn't going to be the only time in which this occurs. The leaking of the gas from the ocean was enough to surprise and confuse scientists, because no one expected the methane to actually leak. Although compared to other contributions, this isn't as major, but it is still a very large issue that we must monitor.
