Geotimes March 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? The case of the elusive source of methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, could soon come to a close, some astronomers say. A new model suggests that instead of storage within surface lakes or an ocean, methane lies inside an icy crust and periodic changes release it into the atmosphere.
Geotimes April 2006 Megan Sever	Undersea Methane Not to Blame New research is indicating that for at least three abrupt warming periods over the past 40,000 years, the warming was accompanied by, but not caused by, an increase in methane, and the methane increase was from the land, not the sea.

However, an international collaboration of scientists has developed a way of storing gas in 'bioclathrates' formed from fruit and vegetables.

Chemistry World April 27, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Scientists Clash Over Methane Mystery The startling claim that trees could be responsible for putting millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere every year was published last year in the prestigious journal Nature. But that has now been rubbished by rival researchers who report that plants emit virtually no methane whatsoever.
