New Permafrost Climate Model Aligns with Global Patterns

New research published in Science Advances indicates that northern permafrost regions will transition from a carbon sink to a carbon source as early as the 2050s. This shift contradicts previous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections, which relied on models assuming these lands would continue to sequester carbon through 2100. The findings suggest that … Read more

But a paradigm shift is occurring in climate science. We are discovering that the plastic crisis isn’t just a marine or terrestrial issue—it’s an atmospheric one. Recent data published in Nature Climate … Read more
