Methane bombs in Siberia

    Just wandering if the frozen methane that is being or will be released in Siberia from these sink holes (as a result of global warming) has been factored into climate models?

    If not what effect would the methane that is released by these blow holes have on global warming? I have read that methane is more potent than CO2 for warming the planet.

    Some scientists are extremely worried that climate change is now out of control as a result of the sink holes.
