Recent wildfires in Siberia raised major global concerns over the threat posed to permafrost

The video discusses the rapid warming in the Russian Arctic, which is causing permafrost to thaw. This thawing leads to soil erosion, revealing mammoth tusks and releasing greenhouse gases like methane and CO2. The video highlights the work of Lakita Zima and his father Sergei in raising awareness about these changes. It also explores the carbon content in permafrost and the potential for increased emissions as the permafrost continues to degrade.
