- 9 years ago
A recent study has found that the gases released by melting permafrost could burden the global economy with an additional $43 trillion in costs--a figure that is on top of the $326 trillion that has already been predicted from climate change.
Melting permafrost may be the result of warming global temperatures, but it will likely have real economic consequences.
According to a recent study, when the greenhouse gases that are trapped in the permafrost are released due to melt, the world economy is expected to sustain an additional $43 trillion in damage by 2200.
