Mining methane hydrates could result in a sharp increase in world methane emissions, which already are trending up. I read recently that it is typical for a couple percent of natural gas to leak away, so you have to think that at least a few percent of the methane ice is going to bubble up and away between the sea floor and the power station... Methane is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas sciencedaily.com At present, methane has a residence time of about 10 years before it is oxidized to carbon dioxide. However, the chemistry of this process is highly non-linear, and as emissions increase, the capacity of the atmosphere to deal with the excess methane decreases and the residence time lengthens giss.nasa.gov
