Washington, D.C, Feb. 16, 2018 -- A new feature article exploring the looming threat of greenhouse gases escaping from thawing permafrost was published online today by Inside Science News Service, an editorially-independent nonprofit journalism venture operated by the American Institute of Physics.
The article, "Global Warming's Frozen Giant," is available to media outlets for syndication and free to read online at: https://www.insidescience.org/news/global-warmings-frozen-giant
According to the article, the Arctic holds vast hordes of carbon frozen in its soil. To find out what's happening to that carbon, scientists are braving Arctic conditions year-round, facing dangers from deadly cold to rabid foxes. In the last few years, they have found a number of surprises -- all of them bad.
Inside Science tells the story of these surprises in its new feature article, written by staff journalist Nala Rogers. The upshot is that Arctic soils seem to be releasing far more carbon than previously thought, potentially making climate change even worse than we realized. The large-scale climate models that guide policy and emissions targets don't yet take any of these extra greenhouse gas emissions into account, Rogers said.
