Permafrost and wildfire emissions could amplify climate change by 30%
Original: Permafrost, wetland, wildfire and freshwater emissions could amplify climate change by up to 30%, study finds
A new study finds that carbon emissions from permafrost thaw, wetlands, wildfires and freshwater systems could amplify climate change by as much as 30%, adding to warming already driven by human activity. The findings highlight natural feedback loops that are increasingly releasing greenhouse gases as the planet heats, suggesting climate projections may understate future warming.
Why now: New research quantifying underestimated natural feedback loops is prompting concern that climate targets may be harder to meet than assumed.
