The sudden release of gas hydrates in to the atmosphere has a long-term impact on global warming, but on the short-term, its impacts are as dramatic and tragic. When methane bubbles escape to the air, the density of water as methane goes through the water changes. Methane reduces the density of water so that ships lose buoyancy and sink. As the methane bubbles escape it create a lot of static electricity that changes the magnetic field of the area thus rendering radars useless. Once it is freed in the air, methane being a highly flammable gas, it may produce instantaneous sparks that could decimate a flying vehicle immediately.
And the lessons here are numerous. For example, changing the density of water means designing different rigs ensuring against fire, using different monitoring and navigating equipment for gas hydrate research and in the future, mining. But the potential of gas hydrates is so big that the world is scrambling to understand it and put up commercial and safe production operations, and soon.
