, suggests that nearly 4 million square kilometres of frozen soil – an area larger than India – could be lost for every additional degree of global warming experienced. Permafrost is frozen soil that has been at a temperature of below 0ºC for at least two years. Large quantities of carbon are stored

and droughts, have at least part of their root linked to the rise in global temperature. And of course the rise in global temperature is linked to another climate indicator: the ongoing rise in emissions of greenhouse gases, notably carbon-dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane.” Albert Klein-Tank
