My Way News - Researchers say permafrost carbon release will be gradual
My Way News reports: "As the climate warms and permafrost thaws, microbes decompose organic
material in permafrost, releasing carbon dioxide or more potent methane.
Those greenhouse gases create additional warming.
In the last 30 years, permafrost in Alaska, Russia and other Arctic
regions has warmed nearly 11 degrees, climbing from an average
temperature just under 18 degrees to just over 28 degrees Fahrenheit,
according to research cited."
