Climate Scientists are Developing Methane Hydrates to Decrease the Effects

Question

Climate scientists are developing methane hydrates to decrease the effects of global warming.

Accepted Answer

Climate scientists are not developing methane hydrates to decrease the effects of global warming. Methane hydrates are actually a potential source of methane gas, which is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. There are efforts to study and understand methane hydrates, but not to develop them as a tool for mitigating climate change.
