Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

I don't think it's trapped in the permafrost as much as that when the permafrost thaws, it will start to rot and methane will be a byproduct of it's decomposition.

Are you claiming that ancient industrial sites made the pollution in the permafrost, or are you just wording it totally wrong?
