Is the extent of glaciation limited by marine gas-hydrates?

Methane may have been released to the atmosphere during the Quaternary from Arctic shelf gas‐hydrates as a result of thermal decomposition caused by climatic warming and rising sea‐level; this release of methane (a greenhouse gas) may represent a positive feedback on global warming [Revelle, 1983; K...
