It may do, as gas from decaying organic matter trapped by the ice.
It is not so much that permafrost is good, as losing permafrost is bad. Permafrost keeps gases like carbon dioxide trapped within its frozen depths; when permafrost thaws, that gas is released, exacerbating global warming. Further, permafrost develops its own ecosystem which is destroyed when the permafrost is destroyed through thawing. The loss of all permafrost would mean the extinction of a lot of species.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. When there is an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it leads to the trapping of heat from the Sun, causing an overall rise in temperature. This phenomenon is known as global warming.

Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2). It is mainly produced by the decomposition of pressurized carbonic acid (H2CO3) into water and carbon dioxide.
It is thought that a vast amount of carbon dioxide is held imprisoned within the permafrost. If the permafrost was to melt, the carbon dioxide released would add considerably to the greenhouse affect.

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
Carbon Dioxide
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
Permafrost is a permanently frozen soil, and occurs mostly in high latitudes. Permafrost comprises 24% of the land in the Northern Hemisphere, and stores a massive amounts of carbon.
Negative carbon dioxide emission is the opposite of carbon dioxide. The formula for carbon dioxide is CO2.
