Yes further research is needed urgently on how much more water vapour
will be produced by the increase in carbon dioxide. Will it be enough to
warm the planet to the extent that the methane hydrates will be released?

Presumably any increase in temperature will result in some clathrate
decomposition ?

Although there is the potential for released methane to contribute to a
runaway effect, it's not a simple "hydrates will be released" or not
thing is it ?

Don't know :-(

And I am not sure anyone else does. It is not the sort of thing you want to
talk about. You could be labelled as a crackpot!

Cheers, Alastair.
