"That is methane hydrate! Also from the bottom of the sea floor."

Huh?

Hate to burst your bubble, but permafrost isn't on the sea floor. Granted, the genesis is similar, bacteria formation mainly, but the liquid water at sub-zero temperatures is sorta lacking because there isn't the amount of pressure required for chlathrate formation. So, no.

There are a lot more methane sinks than you are pretending. And CO2 ones, for that matter. Most of which are highly temperature dependent.
