it now intends to file for bankruptcy. scientists in siberia discovered a pair of roundworms that were once alive during the ice age. the worms were found dormant, deep in a layer of arctic permafrost, dating back 116,000 years. when the researchers put them in water, they came back to life. other species of roundworms have been known to survive long periods, suspended in another time. but none as long as these. here s tim allman with more. he s having a good sleep and then there s having a good sleep. what you are seeing are some tiny creatures that are old. very, very old. somewhere in the region of 50,000 years old. this all started when our russian colleagues dug up a bit of permafrost for their studies. so they have a very good reason to believe that everything that s coming out of this patch
Burning, drifting, and being devoured by insects, Canada’s Boreal forest is shrinking and climate change is to blame.
Second only to the South American Amazon forest, the Boreal forest is vital to ensuring the future of planet Earth, reports AFP. The forest which encircles the arctic and stretches across Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and Alaska has in recent times been weakened by forest fires, the melting of permafrost, an insect infestation, warming temperatures and drifting trees.
Research shows that more areas of year-round unfrozen ground have begun to appear throughout Alaska, with the melting permafrost attributed to climate change.

Study Presents Large Unaccounted Carbon Footprint of Arctic Permafrost
Written by AZoCleantechFeb 10 2021
The increase in global temperatures has led to the thawing of the frozen Arctic soil, or permafrost, in the northern hemisphere and the release of CO
2 stored inside it for thousands of years.

The quantity of carbon stored in permafrost is predicted to be four times greater than the integrated amount of CO
2 discharged by modern humans.
Findings of a study by an international research team, including a scientist from the University of Copenhagen among others, indicates that the newly found phenomenon will discharge even larger amounts of CO
