I think the major difference this time around that is not taken into account by people is that in all previous interglacial events this tundra thawing and major releases of methane and carbon happened in a pristine natural atmosphere and not in the co2 and methane soaked air of today, what that is going to do is not hard to imagine, they predicated an ice age coming back in the 70's according to arctic and antarctic ice core gas samples which showed in every interglacial period co2 did not rise above 300ppm before an Ice age kicked in, happened like that every time and never went above and it was 300ppm in 1970, as of March 2022 it was 413.3ppm in the cleanest part of the planet and the methane and carbon dump from this meting permafrost dump has yet to occur ..a really bad situation is at hand.

Crazy how she admits the planet was warmer...without humanity, and this area was originally green. many experts in the field of geological science agree that the carbon record includes a cycle of around 800 years of warming and cooling. Our heating lines up with that carbon cycle with less than 10% differentiation. There's a reason the majority of the scientific community no longer refer to the heating as global warming, as opposed to climate change. Carbon emission also doesn't correlate to temperature rising. It delays behind and increases*after* temperature change. Scientific American, Washington post, Australian Bureau of Meterology and America's IPCC have predicted that the ice caps should have melted 7 times over. New York should be under water. The great barrier reef should have died back in 2007. They were all wrong.

An inevitable must happen! It is happening at an accelerated pace and nobody will be able to stop it. We would be lucky if the mankind will last more than 40 years even less!

[@newnamesameperson397]

Oh well. If mankind dies off as a result of climate change then it dies. It's funny how humans think we are the center of the universe. God's choosen people. The wardens of the earth. No one but arrogant man gave themselves those titles. If man disappeared life would go on so the way I view it who cares.

What is the problem? The place obviously had plants and animals there before? New plants and trees will take the gas back up, plants grow better in higher co2, more plants make more oxygen, would be nice to to have the planet warmer no one likes it to be cold lol, Longer farming seasons would mean we could squeeze another crop in, Disasters have always happened but now everything that happens is climate change?

[@stephenr5670]

Terrible situation. All the more reason for the world to switch to renewable energy as fast as possible.

dude we are in end times. this crap doesnt matter. who do u think is in charge and has final say on everything? GOD. there isnt a damn thing people can do about the climate when u have it and all the planets in the solar system heating up from the inside. oh the news didnt tell u that?

[@notyou1877]

So! It was much warmer at one point in time. Then it got cold. So now it's time to get warmer again. It must be a cyclic event. Nothing to see here...

The audio mix is tragic... I don't remember what the story was about.

[@dougcharles5004]

Permafrost was an optimistic description of the land perhaps semi frost.

[@Callummullans]

Russia should consider a ground level ultrasonic atomiser system which could possibly stop snow being able to settle on the ground this would stop the snow blanket effect which is heating the under ground. I believe this with camels could be a viable option.

russia is the one causing it to heat up

It's the natural cycle, it's not a disaster or anything. It's going to happen regardless of what man does or doesnt do. We really are pushing the limit to think we are so mighty.

For your information according to the Milankovic cicles we are in an ice age. The climate should be cooling down. It's definitely not cooling down.

If there was once animals roaming and plant life now frozen that is thawing, then the area was warmer at some previous point in time. This is a cycle of our beautiful earth, man didn’t create the cycle and cannot change the cycle.

Its due to the milankovitch cycle and orbits of earth

[@blkcoupequattro]

The question remains to freeze or just be hot, at least with heat it's manageable, freezing is less manageable however. I often wonder if it''s this very process that starts the Ice Age, or is that under the watch of the Sun......, believable it's both, and Mother Nature will likely break the rules man has made this is for certain....

[@tactiks7468]

This is simply the normalization of the climate after the long lasting effects of the flood of Noah, the climate is still normalizing after that catastrophic event!

The Saharan desert goes green every 20,000 years. Why is it so hard to believe that the permafrost melting is another consequence of living on a planet that naturally shifts its climate?

[@simz04]

Because its happening extremely fast? Because we are doing things that have never been done before? Because there is a higher human population than ever before? Why is it so hard to believe that all the deforestation, pollution and energy consuption that we do are affecting the planet's climate?
