Could we harvest the methane out of the arctic and use it as fuel instead of letting it escape? Relevant NY Times.
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.
