Permafrost acts as a natural freezer, storing vast amounts of carbon that would otherwise be released as greenhouse gases if the permafrost thaws. It also provides a stable foundation for infrastructure in cold regions and supports unique ecosystems adapted to cold conditions. However, due to climate change, as permafrost thaws, it can release greenhouse gases, destabilize landscapes, and impact the plants and animals that rely on permafrost ecosystems.

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.
