- Hundreds of massive seafloor craters are leaking methane Sat, 3 Jun 17, 12:51am12,000 years ago the Barents Sea was covered with ice. Warming caused ice sheets to recede and a lot of methane was released, leading to blowouts that left the Arctic Sea floor scarred with hundreds of craters. Researchers...
- China claims major energy breakthrough with 'flammable ice' Sat, 20 May 17, 12:37amChina has claimed a major energy breakthrough, but its eco credentials are dubious at best. Researchers say they managed to extract gas from flammable ice in the South China Sea. A frozen mix of natural gas and water known...
