Question

Study the attached image carefully and explain the connection between melting permafrost and climate change (AKA global warming). We learned that when you burn fossil fuels like oil and coal you release carbon into the atmosphere and it acts a greenhouse gas, warming the atmosphere. What connection can you see here?

Answer 1

The more carbon that's released, the more plants grow, but the more plants that grow, the more carbon

is released. The permafrost levels also lower, releasing even more carbon into the atmosphere. Global warming is dangerous because the rate in which the climate changes will grow exponentially. In other words, the effects with each passing year will become faster and harder to reverse.
