Thawing Permafrost Not Only Emits CO2, It Absorbs it Too, Shows Landmark Study

What backs it

Landmark study reveals thawing permafrost triggers atmospheric carbon removal alongside emissions—an overlooked mechanism that partially counterbalances greenhouse gas release from frozen soils.

What it doesn’t mean

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.
