The permafrost of the permafrost dissolves earlier than 70 years in shock
Permanent permafrost in distant places in Canada's Arctic region is thawing 70 years earlier than expected.
An expedition has discovered the issue is considered the latest worrying sign in this global climate crisis, causing scientists to "lose sleep".
The Alaska Fairbanks University team was stunned when the summer was unusually hot, causing the upper floors of the giant ice below the surface to lose stability. This soil layer has frozen for millennia.
"What we see is amazing," Vladimir Romanovsky, professor of geophysics at Alaska Fairbanks University, told Reuters. "This is a sign that the climate is warmer at any time in more than 5,000 years."

The results of the study were published on June 10 in the geological science journal Geophysical Research Letters. It shows an emergency signal about global warming.
The research is based on data from Professor Romanovsky and colleagues. They conducted an analysis from the most recent expedition in this area in 2016. Members must use improved propeller aircraft to reach remote areas of the Arctic.

Scientists are concerned about the permanence of permafrost due to the risk of rapid melting of ice that can release large amounts of heat-retaining gas. This gas will retain the ability to be absorbed from the Sun and return to being a fuel that makes the temperature even faster.
According to Guardian, even if the current commitments on emission reductions under the Paris 2015 agreement were implemented, the Earth could not avoid the risk of warming due to this phenomenon.
Scientists also warned that rising temperatures would destroy the southern hemisphere and threaten the Northern Hemisphere industries. The paper also emphasizes the problem of cutting emissions.
"The melting of permafrost is one of the climax of climate change and it is happening right before our eyes," said Jennifer Morgan, Greenpeace International Executive Director. "This early melting is a clear signal that we must remove carbon emissions from our economies immediately."
