Deep beneath the Arctic ice, something is trying to escape. It's left its mark all over the globe. It breathes fire. And it has the power to completely wipe us off the planet. No, we're not talking about some grotesque monster lurking underground. We're talking about an invisible gas called methane. What would happen if it escapes the Earth's surface? Would it speed up global warming? And how much longer can we keep it contained?
