That crossed my mind too Len. I can't find any info on Alaska so far so I guess it's mainly seepage.

All I can find is seepage so the Alaskan Permafrost is more "spongey" as in allowing the gas to seep through holes as opposed to the Siberian Permafrost, which then has the blowouts.

Between both methods, it will get yuckier as the gas is going to force a change in the ecosphere

Yeah Len, methane is a nasty GHG and will hasten the changes.

Something that may be pertinent is that all of these eruptions are on the Yamal Peninsula, a piece of dirt that pokes up into the Arctic Ocean, not on mainland Siberia.

The Door to Hell is noted for its natural gas fire which has been burning continuously since it was lit by Soviet petroleum engineers in 1971 (Ahal Province, Turkmenistan)

Natural Gas, which is sought out at the moment via Fraking, is petroleum related and is called Propane, it is NOT the Methane that is leaking or bursting from the permafrost.

Plus that hole is lit and burning off the gas, thus neutralizing it's own effects which would be lethal in an enclosed area.

The movie avatar did a science check, and it is why the humans all had to wear masks to breath as the Pandoran atmoshpere was highly dense mix of earth like atmosphere with high carbon and mainly high methane, that swirling effect that took place when they opened the doors to the outside of their artificial environment. for a shred of credibility, they did research on a methane laden atmosphere that could support life that was not Earth based with the ecosphere we have and are damaging now.

Human activity unleashes the monster methane pockets, which will make the air we breathe a toxic soup.

Precisely Len. It will be a toxic soup. The worst aspect of methane is that it will cause a massive increase in temperature that will be our demise if we don't do something about it.

In the words of the Contrarians it will be beneficial to us but it's hard to see how. According to LGR the demise of humans would be a benefit to the planet but it won't just affect us it will destroy the environment of so many other organisms.
