A father and son’s Ice Age plot to slow Siberian thaw
At the scientific base in Chersky, Russia, located 130 km south of the Arctic coast, Sergey Zimov has observed the effects of global warming on the permafrost. As the permafrost thaws, it is releasing ancient mammoth bones, vegetation, and large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Zimov has been studying the permafrost in the diamond-producing Yakutia region for many years and is now witnessing the effects of climate change firsthand.0
