Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic’s permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions from lakes, rivers, a…Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic’s permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia.
