Scientists are concerned because the thaw in Siberia will release methane from the melting tundra. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas which is contributing to global warming.

Why do Many scientists blame for the increasingly warmer temperatures in Siberia.?

Many scientists attribute the increasingly warmer temperatures in Siberia primarily to climate change driven by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. This leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions, which trap heat in the atmosphere. Additionally, feedback loops, such as the melting of permafrost releasing methane—a potent greenhouse gas—further exacerbate warming in the region. The rapid temperature rise in Siberia is also seen as a critical indicator of broader climatic shifts affecting the Arctic and beyond.
