That’s fascinating, it sounds like it happened due to the eruption occurring under ocean water, since it requires a chlorine ion from salt to break down methane. If they could translate this into something you could dump into the atmosphere over methane hot spots it could make a positive impact.

Oh, there have been plenty of proposals of solar ships atomizing salt-water around. The hard part is how to do it at scale. Anyway, the mechanism has been known for a long time, that article is hyped on it also working at high altitude. The problem is that chlorine ions at high altitude are really not a good thing to have, so I don't expect much to come from this.
