<section begin=Cardadult42Desc />
Methane hydrates (or methane clathrates) are a form of ice on the ocean floor, along continental slopes, that traps methane molecules. They can become unstable above +2°C.
The Gulf Stream is part of the ocean's thermohaline circulation. It could weaken in response to freshwater input from Greenland's melting ice sheet.<br>
This could disrupt the water cycle even more and reduce the ocean's capacity to absorb more carbon and heat.
