Wouldn’t it have to warm FIRST in order to melt the permafrost and THEN release the CO2?
That’s what I thought, but I’m not a politically motivated scientist and the GSA did not put me up in a Holiday Inn express.
I think the point is that orbital fluctuations caused the permafrost to begin melting and that released carbon in the form of methane and other gases that sped up the process in a catastrophic manner.....

Maybe they got their ‘model’ too close to a heating duct.
