The pace at which the world’s permafrost soils are warming

Global warming is leaving more and more apparent scars in the world’s permafrost regions. As the new global comparative study conducted by the international permafrost network GTN-P shows, in all regions with permafrost soils the temperature of the frozen ground at a depth of more than 10 meters rose by an average of 0.3 degrees Celsius between 2007 and 2016 — in the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as the high mountain ranges of Europe and Central Asia.
