Melting permafrost

Permafrost is a ticking time bomb, and its rapid melting is significantly speeding up climate change. Two-thirds of the world’s permafrost is in northern Russia, and as it melts, dead, carbon-rich vegetation and countless millions of frozen animals decompose, releasing greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The thawing soil, and the release of the gases, in turn contribute to the rate of global warming, meaning a vicious cycle is at play. Scientists say we have not reached a “tipping point” yet, meaning the situation is still relatively stable, but time is quickly running out.

This project was exhibited at COP24, in Katowice, Poland (December 2018).
