Permafrost is a thick layer of soil, rock, or sediment that remains frozen for at least two consecutive years. It is important because it stores vast amounts of carbon, which if released as greenhouse gases due to thawing, can accelerate climate change. Permafrost also plays a role in maintaining ecosystem stability, supporting infrastructure, and regulating the water cycle in cold regions.

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.
