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

So basically the article argues that the IPCC is stupid enough not to account for methane that's released from Arctic ice in their models. Then because the mainstream climate scientists are so wrong in their science, we should do something about global warming?

I move to taboo "mainstream." It's being so often used as a swear word now that it has lost its meaning.

In that case the mainstream opinion on climate change is the IPCC opinion.
