It gets warm. Methane hydrates (also called methane clathrates) are
stable below 0C in arctic tundras, and up to about 2C about 300 metres
below sea level on the continental shelf. When the local temperature
gets high enough, the clathrate comes apart, releasing methane into
the atmosphere.

Catastrophist. I'm sure Hollywood could make a film about it. People seem to
like being scared. I suppose the IPCC is trading on that too.
