"Arctic Permafrost Unzipping: A Global Carbon Bomb Threat"

As global temperatures rise, Arctic permafrost could thaw, leading to the creation of new rivers and expansion of existing ones, releasing large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and potentially triggering a devastating feedback loop. The study found that permafrost thaw from 1 degree Celsius of warming in the Arctic could emit the same amount of carbon as 35 million cars driven for a year, contributing to more warming and erosion of the landscape.
