Methane: Dream or Nightmare?

From the Arctic Ocean to the ocean depths of Japan, from the frozen lands of Siberia to the research lab, what impact will this greenhouse gas have on our climate? A compelling investigation into the major environmental challenges of our century. This rather forgotten gas from our planet's past has just made a crashing comeback centre stage. Some scientists are studying methane rejections while other researchers are examining the possibility of extracting methane hydrate from the ocean floor. A phenomenal new energy resource - but one whose extraction can be dangerous.
