The end of the world is covered in permafrost

in #busy7 years ago

Global warming every year increasingly destroys the cryosphere.

Scientists of the Amsterdam Free University came to the conclusion that the melting of permafrost leads to large emissions of carbon into the atmosphere. This can affect the rate of climate warming. And as a consequence, entail catastrophic phenomena such as drought, floods and extreme frosts.

Global warming is not a desirable phenomenon, as it affects the destruction of the cryosphere. And as a result - plant residues, whose age is approximately 3-4 thousand years and more, are affected by microbes, which leads to the release of carbon.

However, carbon emissions can be associated with an ordinary geochemical cycle. The fact is that through a phenomenon called cryoturbation, when soil layers are mixed due to seasonal thawing and freezing, the oldest carbon can change its place.
