New research with contributions from 97 scientists in 11 different countries reveals dramatic changes in the Arctic including rising air temperatures, declining Caribou herds and increasing precipitation.<\/p>\n<p>For the 11th year in a row, the report found that the Arctic is warming faster than the global average. According to researchers, it is currently warming up to four times the global rate. This warming stimulates plant growth, removing carbon from the atmosphere, but also causes permafrost to thaw. Carbon trapped in the frozen soil starts to decompose releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Permafrost temperatures measured in 2024 were the second warmest on record at monitoring sites across Alaska. Climate change is also making high-latitude wildfires more intense. The area burned has increased alongside the intensity of these blazes and the associated carbon emissions. The report card outlines how climate shifts are forcing plants, wildlife, and the people who depend on them to adapt rapidly to a warmer, wetter, and less certain world. Stark regional differences are also making these environmental shifts highly unpredictable. Climate impacts are threatening the health, homes and survival of many Indigenous communities that live in the Arctic.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/12\/11\/the-arctic-tundra-has-transformed-from-carbon-sink-to-carbon-source-report-finds\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-646\/\">The Arctic tundra has transformed from carbon sink to carbon source, report finds<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17290,1147,575],"class_list":["post-136001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-arctic-tundra","tag-carbon","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136001\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
