More Yedoma Carbon is Being Rapidly Converted to CO2 than Estimated

A team of researchers have found that carbon is being thaw released from Yedoma along the northernmost Siberian Arctic coast which stretches to around 7000 km. Increased warming of the Arctic climate may accelerate the collapse of the Yedoma leading to more CO2 being released. The Arctic region is experiencing double the climate warming which is considered as the global average.
