Methane is a greenhouse gas roughly 20 times as potent as CO2. So burning it, in theory, would reduce its global warming impact.
But it's impractical to do it. In Siberia alone we're talking about 9 million kilometers in which to find every deposit and control it before it is liberated. There isn't enough industrial capacity or energy in the world to accomplish something on that scale.
Which means there's no point mentioning the ecosystem damage a project like that would do.

That's "square kilometers."
The worst isn't mentioned in this video. There are also methane clathrate deposits buried shallowly on the continental shelves, barely held in place by pressure and low temperature. Global warming also means warmer ocean currents. A current warmer by a few degrees in the right place could start releasing those deposits.
Ocean methane deposits are much vaster than anything on land. If those start to let loose, it's going to get bad. Very bad.

Iain Stewart?

They should've checked to see if a caveman was under there. That would probably explain the farting ice. Right?

Who needs to learn how to cut firewood when you got freshwater to burn? XD?

Oh, not the global "warming" thing again...

in soviet russia lake burns you
-
melting permafrost ? uh wtf ? water temperature on the bottom of the lake got 4*C for whole year ( as long as water is liquid )
the methane is from rotting things in lake...

This is a load of crap. Methane comes out naturally from the oceans and into the air. Global warming is caused by the sun getting hotter and expanding. The caps on Mars and the moons of Saturn and Jupiter with liquid ice are melting faster than the earth's caps and they're further from the sun than we are. Don't buy into Al Gore's bullshit. There are over 9000 scientists with PHDs that aren't convinced of his theories.

this video DEFINENTLY just got me an A on my science project

0:45 haha, face shot...need new eyebrows now?

wow, i wish our lake would do that :D
this is awesome.... just poke a hole into the ice and WOOOSH out comes methane :O

25% of the land mass of the northern hemisphere is made of permafrost. From what I have read, it is between 1200 and 2200 feet thick. Could it possible for the whole permafrost to start on fire if global warming continues. The Bible says the earth will be consumed by fire. Could this Bible Prophesy be true? No matter how you look at it, if we do not make immediate changes in our energy sources, we are in big, big trouble. C. Jeff Dyrek. North Pole Expedition Leader 2005

The Bible also claims the universe is less than 7,000 years old, not to be taken seriously. There is also evidence that between previous ice ages that temperatures rose much higher than today and that large amounts of methane have been released into the atmosphere before, from beneath the sea aswell as from melting permafrost. Life on earth will survive.
