just gave me an idea how to weaken the greenhouse effect of methane being released from perma-frost. The idea is basically to build swarms of methane consuming quadrocopters that combust the methane into the weaker greenhouse gas CO2 (and water vapor). Something like this:

It would detect methane leaks with a Telpos Hyper-Cam Methane (http://www.telops.com/en/hyperspectral-cameras/hyper-cam-methane). The needle could possibly be made of a light heat resistant plastic or carbon-carbon composite fibers.
Perhaps other designs are conceivable, for example a very light, gliding aircraft that simply pierces the ground, ignites the methane directly and uses the explosion for uplift.

You can drive over ice on the truck for miles in winter there. There is also a history of seasonal temporary rail roads put on top of the ice. The plastic mosquito has to be 5 ton may be to fall from 100 m to break that ice of this thickness.
