Gigatons of greenhouse gas are trapped under the seafloor, and that's a good thing. Around the coasts of the continents, where slopes sink down into the sea, tiny cages of ice trap methane gas, preventing it from escaping and bubbling up into the atmosphere. While rarely in the news, these ice cage formations, known as methane clathrates, have garnered attention because of their potential to affect climate change. During offshore drilling, methane ice can get stuck in pipes, causing them to freeze and burst.

Jofra Archer feels playing in only one Ashes Test this summer would constitute a success, such is his wariness about overextending himself following a long injury lay-off. England have a natural urge to unleash Archer against Australia, especially as he seems to have lost none of the attributes that made him such an important weapon in the 2019 series between the two teams. But the reality is Archer is just a couple of months into his comeback from well-chronicled elbow and back troubles and, even though he is making encouraging progress, England are proceeding with caution.
