Gateway to the underworld: Permafrost ‘megaslump’ in Siberia is expanding • FRANCE 24 English
According to a study published in the Journal of Geomorphology, global warming is the cause of the enlargement of the Batagaika crater in Siberia. Also known as the “gate to hell”, this crater releases thousands of tonnes of CO2 each year and is expanding at record speed. FRANCE 24’s Julia Sieger tells us more.

All you had to do was plant tress. It’s not permafrost. It’s deforestation.
Mudflood
And hence, and hence, and hence? I think someone over edited their statement notes in an attempt to seem superior.
Soviet Russia deforestation and lighting a fire that burns for 53 years and climate change is my fault for driving to the store to get fruits and vegetables for my family. Do you even hear yourself?
This is caused from the weakening earths electromagnetic field, allowing more plasma electricity through the earth from the north and south poles. This is not caused by the lie of global warming from carbon.
The "scientists" sound like toddlers calling it Permafrost now that it's known to melt. The "experts" have NO idea about what they "teach" us. It's obvious they're making it up as they find new stuff. We need to put these dumb eggheads in their place! The Library!! In the real world things have to work and have real value and utility.
Both capitalism and communism ate the culprit behind this nature events. We're gradually reaping the consequences of our excessive activities and its irreversible now.
You are suprised by our little snowglobe changing over time as hurdle through an abyss while being kept livable by a giant ball of plasma a billion times our size, yet you think we cause it? Ha, derp.
Yes, though reporter called the baby moose a horse…..
It covers 200 acres and is 1 km long? 200 acres is 0.8 sq km and Siberia covers over15,000,000 sq km. This sounds like one of those stories trying to keep the Global Warming/Climate Change/ Climate Emergency/Climate Catastrophe/Global Boiling alive.
we humans release much much more co2
So… Mordor is now canon?
Well we coming out of an ice age. The earth should warm up before the nice ice age. Bet there is alot of things in there. Also why not collect like they do in landfills?
Permafrost is the "permeable" layer of soil that allows life to grow, which is frozen
Awesome Lightening shows on the way then 😁.
So, it was deforestation, not global warming.
But of course, blaming CO2 is where the money is at. Figures.
What do you need to make oxygen…
Coal-fired power plants in China generate over half of the world's coal-fired power and a significant portion of China's electricity. In 2023, coal accounted for 39.9% of China's electricity supply, while non-fossil fuels like nuclear and renewables accounted for 53.9%. However, China is responsible for 95% of new coal power construction in 2023, with 70.2 GW of new construction underway, which is 19 times more than the rest of the world. As of August 29, 2023, China has 243 GW of new coal power approved or under construction
That's a jellyfish babe🧐 The rulers of the universe🤔Love your work❤️😁🙃
I'm deeply concerned on the carbon emissions from volcano's and the effect on the earth's atmosphere.. is there some way we can make them run by renewables or solar or lithium batterys… I think a good start is to fase out volcano's and introduce carbon credits so we give money to the government so they can run through a credit system reducing carbon until we fase them or even ban them from running…
You would think someone would have the idea to start reforresting the region to stop the melting of the subsoil. If managed correctly they could turn the region into a renewable business and stop the land errosion.😮
Its not confirmed at all
Odd that it's getting warmer now that the last ice age is ending. Reminder, the Earth has been around for a lot longer than humanity and global temperatures used to be much higher during non-glacial eras. Want to survive this temperature increase? PLANT TREES! Humans evolved from great apes. We're meant to live in jungles under the cover of trees.
Not just methane ..but ancient viruses and bacteria that will be released upon the world!
Fight your parents (in a smart way), know that they are your enemies, but you still need them for your survival. Only ally with those that have acknowledged their role in climate change, but your parents hate you and they are still your enemies no matter what they will tell you (also don't believe cult people that want to separate you from your parents aswell)
Interesting.
A warmer world would greatly help humans and other life on earth. The love of ice and cold makes no sense. If all the ice melted, we would have much greater rainfall and the mega-deserts that cross the world would diminish and maybe disappear. The oceans would not rise. We know this because the oceans have not risen in decades despite the cretins who constantly have "warned" us that they would. Why do the super rich buy coastal properties? Because most of them have greater intelligence than the rest of us.
You didnt show it now that looks like it did when I saw this 8yrs ago
GW is not real it’s a planet does what she does.Deforestation is to blame for it all no trees no Co2 filters.
fake science spoken of here. Carbon released to the atmosphere is a benefit – not a problem for humans and the earth
yes BRING THE CO2!!!!! lets go …
Sooooo what happen to next 50 years ?
natural thing. Nothing to do with "global warming". Carbon doesn't heat the atmosphere. You'll soon want global warming as we are gonna dive into a freeze soon.
And we can’t do a damn thing about it!
Warming and cooling, equals balance, and that should not cost us money.
We are still in an ice age, known as the Quaternary Ice Age, which began around 2.58 million years ago. An ice age is defined as a period in Earth's history when ice sheets and glaciers are present, particularly at the poles. Currently, we are in an interglacial period (the Holocene), which is a warmer phase between glacial periods, but large ice sheets still exist in Antarctica and Greenland.

It’s the magnetic pole shift! Solar energy discharges from earth and melts ice, starts fires and seeds the clouds for flash floods! Do your research, we are in 12000 year cycle.
What do u call a baby horse?
20 years of fracking…. tipped us quicker. Short term Wells left to leak after they stop being viable and loopholes to help the corporations to shadow dodge responsibility.
Legislation and political pay offs allowed this.
I truly believe this has and will be what accelerates the feedback loop.
The only thing I wish for is to listen to what the survivors say about us of this era. I dunno, a 10 thousand years in the future.
Oh, I get it. It's the Russians. It is always the Russians. Let us not mention the 300 years of coal burning in western Europe.
I can't wait to have palm trees in Montana
So it releases CO2, thats excellent! since CO2 is the primary food source for plants. !
So they shaved off ALL the trees. Idyots.
Better let the libs in Canada know there going to want to tax that gate to hell
