Only the first half of this page is devoted to stating facts; the latter half is a call for political action. The facts section states that the millions of tons of methane trapped in the Arctic ice are a factor not commonly taken into account in future climate models, and its release will very quickly worsen global warming to the point of posing a serious existential risk.
Problematic. Unlike with oil, it isn't kept down by a hard cap of rock; we can't drill a single hole and have it bubble up, we'd need to physically harvest vast quantities of methane slurry, and meanwhile it'd still be bubbling up.
