Permafrost and wildfire emissions could amplify climate change by 30%
Original: Permafrost, wetland, wildfire and freshwater emissions could amplify climate change by up to 30%, study finds
A new study finds that emissions from thawing permafrost, wetlands, wildfires and freshwater systems could amplify human-driven climate change by up to 30%. These natural feedback loops, largely absent from mainstream climate models, release additional carbon dioxide and methane as the planet warms, potentially undermining current emissions targets and timelines.
Why now: New research quantifying how natural feedback loops could significantly accelerate warming beyond current climate projections.
