Is permafrost good?
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.
Does permafrost have carbon dioxide in it?
It may do, as gas from decaying organic matter trapped by the ice.
Do evergreen trees affect global warming?
Yes, evergreen trees affect global warming by reducing it. Growing trees and vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (through photosynthesis). As carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is being added to the enhanced greenhouse effect, then any removal of it is good.
What is carbon reclamation?
{Major League} Carbon removal from Our Atmosphere is our only Way Out Of This Mess.
How does Carbon Dioxide relate to the temperature?
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.
Why could the melting of permafrost cause a runaway greenhouse?
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.
What is the condition that causes a permafrost?
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.

What do deamination and decarboxylation reactions have in common?
Both involve Removal Of Atoms from the reactant. Deamination - Removal of Amino group Decarboxylation - Removal of Carbon dioxide
How does pneumonia affect the removal of carbon dioxide from the blood and delivery of oxygen to cells?
The lungs have excessive fluid built up inside them. If you can breathe underwater, you probably won't be that affected, for the rest of us, the fluids stop the transfer of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
What is the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere CALLED?
This is simple. It is "Plants".
How would the removal of decomposers from earth's biospheres affect the carbon nitrogen and phosphorus cycles?
Decomposers eat the dead animals, so any animals involved in the the cycles will turn into fossil fuels.
How does the carbon cycle affect mangroves?
With carbon dioxide.
