"Arctic Mystery: Bubbling Methane and the Threat Beneath the Ice"

Scientists in Svalbard, Norway, have detected substantial methane emissions from exploration wells in the Arctic permafrost, a potent greenhouse gas that could exacerbate global warming. Methane, which is 28 times stronger than CO2 in trapping heat, could significantly hinder efforts to limit temperature rise if released in large quantities. The study highlights the urgency of transitioning to clean energy sources, such as solar power, and adopting energy-efficient practices like using LED bulbs to protect the permafrost and mitigate climate change.
