How Permafrost Thaw Diminishes the Remaining Carbon Budget
Keeping global warming below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels requires future carbon emissions to remain below a certain level. Researchers have…
Permafrost Thaw: Gradual Change or Climate Tipping Point?
Global warming leads to Arctic permafrost thaw and the subsequent release of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These changes are…
Weaker Ocean Circulation Could Cost Trillions
A major motor for the global climate is beginning to falter: a massive system of ocean currents called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning…
