Description: Climate scientists have long warned that global warming could unlock vast stores of the greenhouse gas methane that are frozen into the Arctic permafrost, setting off potentially significant increases in global warming. Now researchers say this change is under way in a little-studied area under the sea, the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, west of the Bering Strait. [Source: New York Times]
