Climate change has been in the news recently, in spite
of the winter weather in America and England. but is the weather caused by
carbon dioxide or is there something that most scientist do not understand.
”As
the Arctic gets warmer, large quantities of greenhouse gas could be released
from the sediment at the bottom of lakes, a source that has previously been
overlooked.
The frozen soil of the Arctic has already started to
thaw, triggering the release of more methane and carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere. This climate
feedback is well known, but most modelling only accounts for thawing in
the top 3 metres of Arctic soil.”
