Just when you thought Global Warming was only going to be devistating.

New scientific theory, hydrate hypothesis, suggests global warming catastrophe

This article comes from a site called “planetSave.com”. So they migth be a little biased. They certainly didn’t try to tone it down and present opposing views or anything.

I saw a show on PBS/Discovery/TLC years ago about this topic so this isn’t anything new. Since then I’ve wondered what affect the warming ocean would have on the hydrates under the ocean floor. The show had some footage from an oil platform where it looked like the ocean was boiling. It was just the methane bubbling up, and it’s certainly not hot. But if these deposits started a chain reaction of gassing? Well, that would be among the worst case scenarios that anyone could imagine for this planet.
