Extreme low-oxygen eddies in the Atlantic produce greenhouse gases
International research team discovers previously unknown processes in the Atlantic

Summary:
    In 2014, an international research team was able to investigate in detail eddies in the Atlantic Ocean which were characterized by extremely low oxygen concentrations. The interdisciplinary analysis of the data and samples has revealed processes which were not previously known to occur in the Atlantic. This also includes the natural production of considerable amounts of greenhouse gases.

Yet another example of why science is never "settled": it is always hypothesizing, testing, measuring, and evaluating.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

This is a new discovery. You need to pick a more current eddy.
