The
likely melt-down of a quarter of Alaska’s permafrost by the year
2100 isn’t good for several reasons the least of which is not that
it will allow more methane to be released into the atmosphere.
Methane is an extreme greenhouse gas. As arctic permafrost melts, methane gases rises to the top through new fast tracks to trade the dark of deep chtonic gloom for the aery blue sky
It's
bad enough that just 25 state and corporate producers release the
majority of human sourced greenhouse gases, and with permafrost
melting allow more biogenic methane and apparently geologic methane
to trickle up to the atmosphere from deep containment the prospects
for an age more suitable for dinosaurs looks good. It is lucky that
genetic engineering may allow restoration of dinosaurs before
humanity dies from heat exhaustion.
