Is methane gas flammable?
Seriously? Yes methane is a hydrocarbon. One of the properties of hydrocarbons is flammability. Methane in particular is one of the principal components of natural gas. Its also the reason you can light farts, and heat your home in the winter. A lot of methane is trapped under ice in the arctic. The leaf and animal matter sink and rot and form methane, but the methane is trapped under the frozen ice. If you break the ice you can light the gas that seeps up from under, its mainly methane.
