Permafrost Melting and its Potential Impact on Northern Canada

Northern Canada usually has a very low temperature, and now the temperature is high, and it began to cause many problems. One of the main challenges facing northern Canada due to the warm weather is the melting of permafrost and destruction of living and non-living things. The term "permafrost" means "the ground (bone, 52)" that is freezing or freezing for at least 2 consecutive years ". In Canada, nearly 76% of the land is occupied by the Arctic and Subarctic regions.

The Arctic trees are facing unique challenges. At Scotty Creek in northern Canada, melting of permafrost is destroying trees. In this area, the growth area of ​​trees is limited, the land between the frozen areas of permafrost is mostly wetlands, trees can not grow due to root water. However, as the climate warms up, the ground gradually disappears from the bottom. As a result, trees lose the area where they can grow and are approaching the edge of the Permafrost Plateau, which can cause stress. In addition to the collapse of the edges, "They will collapse and will lose their roots," Anderson - Teiseira said. The availability of water is changing due to the specificity of melting and refreezing in these areas. This means that trees that do not collapse in permafrost are facing some combination of drought and flooding.

Climate change is getting worse. As the permafrost dissolves and releases carbon dioxide and methane gas into the atmosphere, a large landslide reforms the landscape of northern Canada. This process is accelerating and Paul is experiencing a record high temperature. Climate feedback mechanisms caused by anthropogenic carbon emissions are producing life. It's all so bad. The obvious solution is to quickly reduce carbon emissions to zero. At least so far, many countries in the world have achieved this goal. In the United States, at the federal level, it seems that nothing has been done due to the unpredictable constitution of rural fossil fuel producing countries. In fact, the Trump regime wants to make things even worse. There are many things to do at the state level, but developing a stronger state agenda is another problem. In my last article, I think there are still some optimistic reasons for climate fighting.
