Arctic permafrost thawing and releasing heat-trapping gases
Original: Arctic permafrost is thawing and leaking heat-trapping gas into the atmosphere
Arctic permafrost is thawing and releasing heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, adding a new driver of global warming. Scientists warn the process could create a feedback loop: warming temperatures melt more permafrost, which releases more gas, which accelerates warming further.
Why now: Concern about climate change and a potential self-reinforcing warming feedback loop
