Methane Gas Leaking

They have found an area in Russia where the Permafrost is subsiding and Methane (aka Natural Gas) is leaking into the atmosphere. Why is this a problem? Well, Natural Gas is 20 times stronger as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Here is the good news though, we could just set all that methane on fire and let it combust to carbon dioxide. Problem solved. Well sort of. Hey where is my Nobel Prize?
