Frozen Carbon Unleashed: Arctic Meltdown Accelerates Climate Crisis

Scientists have discovered that the Arctic’s vast permafrost areas are now releasing more greenhouse gases than they absorb, contributing to global warming. Over a two-decade study, regions like forests absorbed carbon dioxide, which was offset by emissions from lakes, rivers, and wildfires. Additionally, methane, a potent short-lived gas, was significantly emitted from wetlands. Permafrost and […]
