What is the immediate impact of the Arctic tundra's shift from a carbon sink to a net emitter of CO2?

The Arctic tundra, a carbon sink for millennia, now emits more CO2 than it absorbs due to increased wildfires and permafrost thaw, worsening climate change impacts. Average annual CO2 emissions from Arctic wildfires since 2003 reached 207 million tons, exceeding the region's capacity to store the gas. This shift is driven by rising temperatures and more frequent, intense fires.

How do the Siberian craters form?

The craters are formed when trapped gases, primarily methane, accumulate beneath the tundra and cause a mound to form on the surface. When the pressure surpasses the strength of the overlying ground, the mound explodes, releasing the gas.

What are the long-term implications of this shift for global warming and the Arctic ecosystem?

The Arctic's transformation from carbon sink to source marks a critical climate tipping point. Continued warming will accelerate permafrost thaw and wildfire activity, leading to a positive feedback loop where increased emissions further intensify global warming. This necessitates immediate and drastic reductions in fossil fuel pollution to mitigate the escalating impacts.

What are the long-term global consequences of continued Arctic ice melt, and what specific actions are needed to mitigate these impacts?

Continued Arctic ice melt will disrupt global weather patterns, including the jet stream, leading to more frequent and intense heatwaves worldwide. Sea level rise due to melting ice poses risks of coastal erosion and inland flooding, affecting populations globally. The visual evidence should catalyze global action to mitigate these intensifying effects.
