🏚️ Life on Thawing Ground
🧊 Permafrost in Peril

🌐 From Alaska and Canada to Greenland, the European Arctic and Siberia, thawing permafrost is cracking homes, shifting coastlines, and reshaping the places people hunt, fish, and gather. Permafrost holds roughly twice the carbon in the atmosphere. When it thaws, CO₂ and methane escape, fueling more warming. Scientists warn these losses are effectively irreversible for centuries, making permafrost a tipping-risk in the climate system.
