Some scientists have associated the release, both gradual and fast, of subsurface ocean methane with climate change of the past and future. In the hydrate phase, a methane gas molecule is locked inside a crystalline cage of frozen water molecules. The stability of the hydrate stability zone is climate-dependent. Gardner et al.,

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Longer term, California, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, Japan, and Western Australia are all looking to the sea to help meet their demands for hydrogen.
