Did you know? Thawing permafrost can release organic carbon from storage, which may generate additional greenhouse gases as it decays and thereby amplify the global rise in air temperature. Thawing permafrost may also enable accelerated plant growth and carbon accumulation which may offset the original temperature change. These important feedbacks could affect the climate of the entire Earth.
