Not arguing the point, however, there is some validity in exploring what impact there may be to warming the permafrost. I just wish they would leave it at that and not inject the hyperbole they do, like all media. Climate change is just that, and no amount of mans effort will go one way or the other unless they do some really big things like solar sails for shields or something. It is arrogance to believe that "if we only stop farting, we can cool the earth" or some such.

NPR is always biased for socialism. Fraudulent rubbish.
Ok, I read this statist propaganda. I was tempted to conclude it was propaganda simply because of the source and not read it. (Of course, it was. NPR never lets me down with their irrational spewing.)
"The bacteria started converting the carbon that's in dead plants and animals into gases that cause climate change: carbon dioxide and methane."
Lying looter statist horse rubbish. Unproven garbage.
NPR is a complete waste of time. Shut 'em down. No more taxpayer funding.

A sister article could show that aerosols ejected from one large volcano could cool the plant creating a runaway albido effect and usher in a little ice age.
