There are probably more methane leaks from natural seeps in the seabed 
of the Gulf of Mexico than anywhere else in the planet.  At 2,000 feet 
below the surface to 10,000 feet below the surface, there is six feet of 
frozen methane covering the entire Gulf of Mexico seabed.  The frozen 
methane is constantly sublimating and rising to bubble up into the 
atmosphere.

We humans did not cause this, it is nature.  And this phenomena happens 
all over the planet.  I think that Gulf of Mexico is the worst since the 
several reservoir pressures peak at 35,000 psia.
