Thawing Permafrost Not Only Emits CO2, It Absorbs it Too, Shows Landmark Study
Reported byGood News Network ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Landmark study reveals thawing permafrost triggers atmospheric carbon removal alongside emissions—an overlooked mechanism that partially counterbalances greenhouse gas release from frozen soils.
This describes a natural carbon-absorption process that occurs during thaw; it does not eliminate net warming risk from permafrost carbon release or reduce the urgency of climate action.
