How and why is melting of permafrost dangerous?
Permafrost, when it melts, releases vast amounts of methane (CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas, produced from the anaerobic rotting of the permafrost vegetation. This increases global warming, which is causing climate change.
Why does the APC say that it is impossible to predict that something like global warming can happen so long from now?
The American Policy Center (APC) say this because they are global warming skeptics. They believe that global warming is not happening.
What is the difference between global climate changes and permafrost layer?
The first is world-wide changes in climate caused by global warming. The second is a frozen layer of ground.
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.
What is the number of years of data needed to predict Global warming?
Scientists have been using the data over the last 250 years (since the start of the Industrial Revolution) to monitor the rise of Global Warming.
What causes the arctic global warming?
All (current) global warming is the result of an increased abundance of heat trapping gas. As the arctic regions warm, methane gas trapped in permafrost soil is being released, accelerating the global warming effect.

Is the global warming starting now?
Global warming continues to occur, as evidenced by the fact our polar ice caps are melting, and of course by global temperature records.
When will there be no more ice caps?
If global warming continues, not that long from now.

How does permafrost melting affect global warming?
potentially all vegatable matter currently locked in permafrost may begin to decompose and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
Why is it that the weather continues to worsen?
The weather continues to worsen because of global warming. Global warming affects the atmosphere and is caused by various elements such as pollution. Pollution goes out into the atmosphere and causes negative effects on the climate.

How the Earth affects the Inuit?
Global warming has caused the permafrost to melt letting coastlines and inlets to recede into the land slowly flooding villages.
What landmasses will be under water if global warming continues?
Coastal Areas and Islands, atolls.
Summarize What would likely happen as a result of global warming.?
If global warming continues, scientists predict that weather events like storms, floods and droughts will become more severe and more common. Ice caps and glaciers will melt causing sea levels to rise. This will affect low lying countries, especially in the Pacific Islands.
