And when permafrost thaws and drains, it makes it possible for microbes to come in and rather quickly decompose all this carbon, with the potential to release hundreds of billions of metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere in the form of greenhouse gases.
a kad se permafrost topi i cijedi, mikrobi mogu ući u njega i brzo razgraditi ovaj ugljik, potencijalno otpuštajući stotine milijardi metričkih tona ugljika u atmosferu u obliku stakleničkih plinova.
