Something is thawing beneath Alaska — and the price tag could be $43 trillion

Alaska's tundra holds immense frozen carbon stores which are thawing. This thaw releases greenhouse gases, potentially causing significant global economic damage. Researchers estimate this damage could reach forty-three trillion dollars by the year 2200. Such emissions contribute to further global warming and widespread climate impacts. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions can help limit these future economic consequences.
