#Permafrost contains substantial amounts of mercury and other heavy metals that have accumulated over long periods. Thawing has the potential to release these substances into the food chain, raising concerns for #HumanHealth 😷🍽️

Scientists estimate that the world’s #permafrost holds almost double the current amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
When permafrost warms and thaws, it releases methane and carbon dioxide, worsening global warming.

The #NorthSlope of #Alaska is home to thousands of #Thermokarst lakes, such as #TeshekpukLake. Thawing #Permafrost creates depressions that fill with meltwater. This unique landscape is often likened to #SwissCheese. #NationalCheeseDay https://t.co/o2hSVmaR3l

What does your gut have in common with #Arctic permafrost? 🦠🧊

New research finds that microbes in the icy soil of #permafrost can create 2x more CO2 than thought – and maybe through similar pathways to how humans digest food 🔗:

🧊 #Permafrost thaw poses multiple risks to local #Arctic communities

Researchers have identified five key hazards related to infrastructure, mobility and supply, water quality, food security and health ⚠️

Even 'safe' #climate scenarios may overshoot 2°C warming: New PIK study shows feedback loops like #permafrost thaw could amplify global heating throughout this millennium. Paris agreement only possible with very low emissions + low climate sensitivity.
