Study on ‘Giant’ Release of CO2 With Permafrost Thaw

A study by scientists in the Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area has forewarned of a “sleeping giant” hidden within Arctic permafrost soils — trillions of tons of planet-warming greenhouse gases that will be released when rapid thaw awakens microbes, activating soil decomposition. https://eesa.lbl.gov/study-suggests-substantial-carbon-dioxide-release-with-permafrost-thaw/
