Caught this posting below (linked from on Ubransurvival) on an ongoing outgassing event relating to the methane deposits bubbling from Beaufort Sea. I didn't want to post this as news, and cannot get the full PDF version of the research as I am not a member of the site. I thought it worth posting as it seems like more and more people are discussing and finding evidence of methane hydrates and increased methane emissions due to the rising global temperatures. If there is proof of methane venting in this one area that is being researched, then it is likley that there is more venting of this sort going on in areas where there is a large amount of trapped meathane in hydrates and permafrost.

Remotely Operated Vehicle observations revealed streams of methane-rich gas bubbles coming from the crests of pingo-like-features (PLFs) – due to warm water influx. We offer a scenario of how PLFs may be growing offshore as a result of gas pressure associated with gas hydrate decomposition.
