Announcement
Arctic permafrost thaw is changing a long-frozen carbon store, NOAA says
NOAA says the Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average, thawing permafrost and affecting a climate-sensitive carbon reservoir stored in permafrost-region soils.
TLDR
NOAA says the Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average, and that warming is thawing permafrost while affecting a climate-sensitive carbon reservoir in northern soils. A NASA capture in the packet also describes carbon locked underground for millennia and “a landscape in change,” but the supplied excerpt does not support a stronger near-term-warming claim on its own.
