Methane not escaping into the atmosphere from Arctic Ocean

[mackdaddy]

1. So the Ocean water is currently retaining the methane in the Ocean waters?? So...

What does this do to the ocean itself? Does this acidify the water? Does is displace Oxygen or other dissolved gasses? Is the water decomposing the methane into carbon dioxide? Will the ocean release all this methane if disturbed, agitated, or warmed or cooled?

They do state the methane is being released from the frozen hydrates, and mostly being at least temporarily trapped in the ocean. But there are many more open questions than answers here.

If enough methane hit the atmosphere, it could completely overwhelm the amount of Human released Green House Gases, and put global warming into an unrecoverable spiral up and be literally the end of human life on earth.

That might be an important thing to know.
