Living Green - Episode 70 - Russia Permafrost

The video discusses the impact of climate change on permafrost, which is soil that has been frozen for thousands of years. As the permafrost thaws, it could release billions of tons of greenhouse gases, accelerating global warming. This process is potentially irreversible, posing a significant threat to the climate.

How long have the soils been frozen before starting to thaw?

In what way is the changing landscape due to climate change described in the text?

What impact does the thawing of permafrost have on global warming?
