New research shows that the amount of carbon stored in frozen soils at high latitudes is double previous estimates and could, if emitted as carbon dioxide and methane, lead to a significant increase in global temperatures by the end of this century. The increased temperatures and permafrost melt could trigger the release of thousands of years of animal waste and other organic matter left behind on the Arctic tundra that have been sealed off from the environment by permafrost. Climate change is melting the permafrost and freeing mass quantities of prehistoric “ooze” from its state of suspended animation.
