NASA/JPL/Eric Kort, Alan Buis; NSF, NCAR, NOAA [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Climate change causes an amplified warming of the Arctic, which may lead to the release of methane from previously frozen soils. Since it’s a strong greenhouse gas, arctic methane release can act as a positive feedback on climate change. However, anthropogenic efforts to reduce methane emissions may be more impor
