A report on recent research about a dangerous positive feedback mechanism. "Permafrost soils store vast quantities of organic matter that are vulnerable to decomposition under a warming climate. Recent research finds that methane release from thawing permafrost may outpace carbon dioxide as a major contributor to global warming over the next century." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-018-0129-6
