Earth's permafrost is beginning to melt

Australian radio reported in a report of a climate change dialogue in Qatar, the United Nations Environment Program said "permafrost" is beginning to melt , releasing thousands of tons of carbon and metal gas. and greatly affected global temperature rise by 2100.

The permafrost is a thick layer of hardening, accounting for about a quarter of the Arctic area, storing twice as much carbon as the amount of carbon in the air.

When the global temperature warms 3 degrees Celsius it means that in the Arctic it will increase by about 6 degrees Celsius, leading to a loss of 30-85% of the permafrost. This changed hydrology, increased disturbances caused by fire and erosion. The most obvious damage is with houses and roads, significantly affecting the economy and society.

When permafrost melts, organic matter is released and releases a significant amount of CO 2 and metal into the air. 43-135 billion tons of CO 2 - greenhouse gas - will be released to 2100 and 246-415 billion tons of CO2 will be released until 2200.

Dr. Charles Miller, a leading researcher at the Vulnerability Lab in the Arctic of the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA), says that compared to CO2, metal impacts more on global temperatures. bridge. He also confirmed that ice melting in the Arctic gives a clearer view of the impact of Earth's climate change.
