500 Billion Tons of Prehistoric Organic Matter May Massively Accelerate ‘Global Warming’
For thousands of years animal waste, and other organic matter left behind on the Arctic tundra, have been sealed off from the environment by permafrost.
Now climate change is melting the permafrost and freeing mass quantities of prehistoric “ooze” from its state of suspended animation.
Russian scientist, Sergei Zimov, after studying climate change in Russia's Arctic for 30 years now, is worried that "This will lead to a type of global warming which will be impossible to stop".
