It would seem to be required that very drastic warming of the deep ocean is the only way that this source of Methane would be released and trigger a «runaway» greenhouse warming.

A lot of reseach energy is being devoted to the study of Methane Clathrates — a huge source of greenhouse gases which could be released from the ocean if the thermocline (the buoyant stable layer of warm water which overlies the near - freezing deep ocean) dropped in depth considerably (due to GHG warming), or especially if the deep ocean waters were warmed by very, very extreme changes from the current climate, such that deep water temperatures no longer hovered within 4C of freezing, but warmed to something like 18C.

Now very often forming blocking fronts helping vast tracts of ocean to warm unhindered and when that causes sufficient evaporation to form hurricanes but this time with no roof so the vertical volume of super saturated air is greater thus causing stronger hurricanes or deeper rain depressions etc..

In Balmaseda et al. paper, they show very nicely the changes in the ocean heat content (OHC) since the late 1950s and how during the last decade the OHC has substantially increased in the deep ocean while in the first 300 and 700 meters it has stalled.

I have to raise an objection to the phrase «the only region of the world that has defied global warming» — that might be neglecting a certain area in the Pacific where England 2014 has identified a very obvious point where the «Pacific conveyor» was bringing in the last decade up a lot of cold water from the deep ocean and has possibly played a major role in the specific trends for that period.

Over very long time periods such that the carbon cycle is in equilibrium with the climate, one gets a sensitivity to global temperature of about 20 ppm CO2 / deg C, or 75 ppb CH4 / deg C. On shorter timescales, the sensitivity for CO2 must be less (since there is no time for the deep ocean to come into balance), and variations over the last 1000 years or so (which are less than 10 ppm), indicate that even if Moberg is correct, the maximum sensitivity is around 15 ppm CO2 / deg C. CH4 reacts faster, but even for short term excursions (such as the 8.2 kyr event) has a similar sensitivity.
