It is.

One thing for sure, I would put bet money on the fossil fuel industry is figuring out how to capture and use this methane gas to burn as fuel which would probably heat up the climate.

Off-topic, my fear is deep frozen viruses that may come alive at some point of the defrost that we are not aware of nor prepared for.

@paul Mine too, along with every other possibility
@paul Capturing it and burning it would almost certainly be preferable to just venting it to the atmo.
