Climate Adam - Is Permafrost Really a Climate Time Bomb?

This video includes personal musings and conclusions of the creator climate scientist Dr. Adam Levy. It is presented to our readers as an informed perspective. Please see video description for references (if any).

The icy caps of our planet hold a frozen secret. Inside the permafrost, within the Arctic Circle, vast amounts of carbon are stored. And as the climate changes and the world heats, many fear this could lead to a tipping point, where thaw causes a viscous cycle of greenhouse gas emissions. But... Could it? Is permafrost really a tipping element for our planet? And how should we be keeping permafrost frozen - to protect ourselves from as much global warming as possible?
