Arctic alarm: Earth's frozen carbon stores in the Arctic may stop absorbing CO2 and start releasing it by the 2050s

The Arctic is warming far faster than the rest of the planet, and a new study published in Science Advances suggests that this warming could transform one of Earth's biggest natural carbon stores sooner than scientists once thought. Researchers say northern soils above 30°N, including vast areas of permafrost, may switch from absorbing carbon to releasing it around the 2050s when deep frozen carbon is taken into account.
