-
The clock of climate change is ticking
-
in these magnificent landscapes.
-
Here in Siberia and elsewhere across the globe,
-
It is so cold that the ground is constantly frozen.
-
It's known as permafrost.
-
Under its surface lies a climatic time bomb:Methane,
-
A greenhouse gas 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.
-
If the permafrost melts, the methane released...
-
Would cause the greenhouse effect to race out of control,
-
With consequences no one can predict.
-
We would literally be in unknown territory.
-
Humanity has no more than 10 years to reverse the trend...
