-- The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred within the past decade, with 2024 likely to be the warmest yet. “It’s not just that the Arctic is warming just like the rest of the world,” said Rich Thoman, a climate scientist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. “Because of these changes in the frozen environment, we’re seeing this …

Emissions Due to Arctic Fires, Thawing Permafrost Pose Growing Threat to Climate, Finds Study

News 18  

The warming Arctic tundra will make it harder for the world to curb climate change, as thawing permafrost and wildfires release greenhouse gases that are not fully accounted for in global emissions agreements, a study said on Monday. “The Arctic is in the process of disintegrating as we know it, and the permafrost is one major component with some pretty …

Lightning strikes could spark more Arctic wildfires, says study

Live Mint  

Lightning strikes inside the Arctic circle may double this century, sparking widespread tundra fires and increasing the risk of setting off the carbon time bomb held within permafrost, new research showed Monday. "We projected how lightning in high-latitude boreal forests and Arctic tundra regions will change across North America and Eurasia," said Yang Chen, a researcher at the University of …

Siberia's Massive Permafrost Craters May Be Result Accumulation of Methane Gas Due to Climate Change

News 18  

Scientists may have found the reason why massive craters are being formed in the Siberian Tundra. In recent research published in Geosciences Journal last week, scientists have observed that large accumulation of methane gas due to climate change in the permafrost may have led to the explosions in the Russian region that has led to the blowouts leaving massive craters. …
